library used but `LIBTOOL' not defined in `configure.in

[Allen Wayne Best]

hello:

pardon my coming in from the "Gread Unwashed" crowd; i am having a basic 
failure to understand problem....<g>

i have been using "gnu autoconf, automake, and libtool" to try to understand 
how to setup a project. i've make my bootstrap program, a configure.in, and a 
subdirectory called lib (amoungst others). i have run libtoolize on the 
project, copied in the m4 files, etc. the bootstrap program is:

--------------- start bootstrap --------------------
#!/bin/sh

set -x
aclocal -I config \
        && autoheader \
        && config/ltconfig --disable-static --with-gcc config/ltmain.sh 
`config/config.guess` \
        && automake --gnu --add-missing --copy
        autoconf
------------- end bootstrap -------------

in my configure.in, i've the relevant lines:

-------------- start configure.in --------------------
dnl Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script.
AC_INIT(acconfig.h)
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(config)

dnl Initialize automake stuff
SYS_MAJOR_VERSION=0
SYS_MINOR_VERSION=0
SYS_MICRO_VERSION=0
SYS_INTERFACE_AGE=0
SYS_BINARY_AGE=0
SYS_VERSION=$SYS_MAJOR_VERSION.$SYS_MINOR_VERSION.$SYS_MICRO_VERSION

dnl libtool versioning
LT_RELEASE=$SYS_MAJOR_VERSION.$SYS_MINOR_VERSION
LT_CURRENT=`expr $SYS_MICRO_VERSION - $SYS_INTERFACE_AGE`
LT_REVISION=$SYS_INTERFACE_AGE
LT_AGE=`expr $SYS_BINARY_AGE - $SYS_INTERFACE_AGE`

PACKAGE=system
VERSION=$SYS_VERSION

AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE, $VERSION, no-define)

for top_builddir in . .. ../.. $ac_auxdir $ac_auxdir/..; do
  test -f $top_builddir/configure && break 
done

dnl Checks for programs.

AC_SUBST(LIBTOOL_DEPS)

if ./libtool --features | grep '^enable static libraries$' > /dev/null 2>&1 ; 
then
   STATIC=-static
else
   STATIC=
fi
AC_SUBST(STATIC)

AC_CHECK_LIBM
AC_SUBST(LIBM)

AC_SUBST(LTLDFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(LIBSOURCES)
LTLIBOBJS=`echo "$LIBOBJS" | sed 's/\.o/.lo/g'`
AC_SUBST(LTLIBOBJS)
LTALLOCA=`echo "$ALLOCA" | sed 's/\.o/.lo/g'`
AC_SUBST(LTALLOCA)

SUBDIRS = "lib src po intl lib"
AC_SUBST(SUBDIRS)

AC_OUTPUT(po/Makefile doc/Makefile intl/Makefile doc/C/Makefile Makefile 
doc/es/Makefile lib/Makefile src/Makefile pixmaps/Makefile)
------------------ end of configure.in---------------

the lib/Makefile.am is as follows:

-------------- start makefile.am ------------
## lib/Makefile.am - process this file with automake 

EXTRA_DIST = acinclude.m4

INCLUDES = -I$(top_builddir) -I$(top_srcdir)

lib_LTLIBRARIES = libsyspci.la
libsyspci_la_SOURCES = @LIBSOURCES@
libsyspci_la_LIBADD = $(LIBM)
libsyspci_la_LDFLAGS = @LTLDFLAGS@
------------ end makefile.am -------------

when use bootstrap, it get the following message:
.....
+ automake --gnu --add-missing --copy
lib/Makefile.am:7: library used but `LIBTOOL' not defined in `configure.in'
...

if i "pretend" that i did not get the error and run ./configure, a 
lib/Makefile is created with (amoungst other lines) 
----------- lib/makefile snippet -----------
libsyspci.la: $(libsyspci_la_OBJECTS) $(libsyspci_la_DEPENDENCIES)
        $(LINK) -rpath $(libdir) $(libsyspci_la_LDFLAGS) 
$(libsyspci_la_OBJECTS) 
$(libsyspci_la_LIBADD) $(LIBS)
--------- end lib/makefile snippet ----------

LINK is undefined in both lib/Makefile and ./Makefile.

Would someone point out the error(s) in my way???? i am deeply grateful for 
any and all assist!
