libtool not working correctly

Asked by alecjcook

Hi, I am trying to compile a "Makefile.cvs". I have the latest ubuntu release of autoconfig, automake and libtool. When I run the
make -f Makefile.cvs
command necessary to compile my application i am receiving the following error:

aclocal: configure.in: 35: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library

I have spoken to the developer and he is convinced that this is a Libtool error.

(I am attempting to install libgig via the cvs route)

does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Many thanks, Alec

Hello Alec,

Did you run this before or after
./configure && make

??
 If before then you will have to clean before you try again.

make distclean
make -f Makefile.cvs clean

Can you help with this problem?
