This means the Libtool macros were not found.  You can either
- append the contents of libtool.m4 and ltdl.m4 to aclocal.m4
- append `-I /path/to/$libtool_prefix/share/aclocal' to the arguments
  of aclocal
- just install all autotools below the same $prefix
- edit the file $automake_prefix/share/aclocal/dirlist to contain a line
    /path/to/$libtool_prefix/share/aclocal

Libtool-2.0 and/or Automake-1.10 will allow either one of `libtoolize
--install' or `aclocal --install', and it should do the right thing if
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR was specified in configure.ac and ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS
in toplevel/Makefile.am points aclocal there.

Cheers,
