Hi Albert

Apologies in advance for the bad text wrapping.  I'm stuck with
Outlook Express
at this moment, and am still learning its text wrapping options.

The scripts were made some time ago, and the autotools files that ship
with
it were made with an older (somewhat incompatible?) version of
autotools,
meaning you have to reinitialize them.

I have a feeling that after running "libtoolize", you also need to run
the
rest of the autotools, something like:
- libtoolize
- aclocal
- autoheader
- autoconf
- automake

Then the familiar:
- ./configure
- make
- make install

Please search the web for more details if this doesn't work.  This
topic is
covered frequently.

I hope this helps
