I'm observing this problem on a Fedora 9 system; specifically:

        $ autoreconf
        acinclude.m4:6596: the serial number must appear before any macro 
definition
        autom4te: cannot open configure: Permission denied
        autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
        
The autoconf version is 2.61. The libtool version is 1.5.24.

I started seeing this after modifying my project to include a local copy
of the libltdl sources. The acinclude.m4 referenced in the error message
is the one in the libltdl subdirectory created by "libtoolize --ltdl".

Blowing away autom4te.cache does not help.

Is there any more known about this issue? I can provide more details if
necessary.
