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

acinclude

ACINCLUDE(1)								GPL							      ACINCLUDE(1)

NAME

       acinclude - manual page for ac-archive 0.5.39

SYNOPSIS

       acinclude [OPTIONS] ...

DESCRIPTION

       Generate `acinclude.m4' by scanning `configure.ac' or `configure.in'

       --acdir=DIR
	      directory holding subdirectories with config files

       --help print this help, then exit

       -I     DIR
	      add directory to superdir search list for .m4 files

       .      add current directory as superdir to searchlist which is the default if no -I option was given.

       --output=FILE
	      put output in FILE (default acinclude.m4)

       --print-ac-dir
	      print name of directory with subdirs holding m4 files

       --verbose
	      don't be silent

       --version
	      print version number, then exit

	      Note that unlike aclocal the subdirectories (!!) of the acdir-path are searched for files - the default will find locals as ./*/*.m4
	      and always search for ac-macros installed as share/aclocal/*/*.m4 which may include the macros from ac-archive or from packages that
	      chose  to  install  multiple files into a subdirectory of share/aclocal.	The tool will warn at unresolved symbols starting with AX_
	      just as the original aclocal program did warn at unresolved macros with AC_.
