Trying to install libtool from source - newbie

Hey all,

I am trying to configure software (Open Cascade) and I am receiving the following error:

configure.ac:24: warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library

I know I must be missing libtool, however, when I try and grab libtool (a lot of sites have the proper tarball and directions -- so I think) I get errors once I get to the "make install" step. I went ahead and changed the permissions for all files associated with the configure and make to read, write, and execute for all, but that does not seem to help.

Upon further research I found that I must do the install on my root directory. When I try that, my permission to the tarball is denied. I'm confused.

I am using putty as my emulator on my Windows system.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be very helpful. I don't know much about Unix/Linux commands, so if you do have a suggestion, could you please kind of talk your way through the commands?

Thank you!
