Aclocal and libtool error -- macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
The software I'm trying to install uses macros with autoconf, aclocal, libtool, autoheader, and automake. What seems to be going on is an error between libtool and aclocal. From what I understand when I run aclocal, which is in /usr/bin, it searches a different directory for the libtool.m4 which is in /home/bh/libtool/share/aclocal.

I read somewhere that if I put

export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /home/bh/libtool/share/aclocal"

in my .bashrc aclocal would grab the correct .m4 file.

No luck. I still get the warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library. I don't have administrative or sudo privileges to change anything outside of my local account.

Does anyone know how I can link these two together so my libtool.m4 file is found?

I am a newbie, so if you could explain what the code means in detail I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Linux master 2.6.31-23-server #74-Ubuntu SMP
