Hmm.  I think I need more information in order to be able to analyze
this.  Can you point to a link where to download an example tarball,
and can you please re-post the error message you were first reporting
about and also the libtoolize error you're now getting, including the
commands that led there (the pastebin stuff has already expired
unfortunately)?

Thanks,
Ralf
