(LT_INIT is a synonym of AC_PROG_LIBTOOL.)

I presume your Automake and your Libtool are not installed below the
same prefix, thus aclocal doesn't find the Libtool macros to install.
One solution is to install both below the same prefix; or write a
dirlist file in $automake_prefix/share/aclocal with a line containing
$libtool_prefix/share/aclocal.

Or the error has a different reason, in which case please post output of
  autoreconf --verbose --install

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
