I couldn't figure out how to use mpkg or install from them (even from  
the directions) and RPM's don't work in Mac OSX.

I'd gladly install a pile of software if I knew what to install to  
resolve the issue.

Since the issue mainly affects libtool and I've been unsuccessful in  
determining what Apple does (if they do anything special) to get 1.6  
to work I was wondering how libtool is tied in to automake and was  
wondering how to get it working with 1.9.5 since this seems to be  
what;s failing.
