Random guess: you've got more than one version of libtool installed
(perhaps in a different path), and autoconf isn't looking in the
directory in which you installed libtool.  It appears that libtool was
installed with using the package manager.  Is it in /usr/local?

>From the messages in the prior email, it appears that libtool isn't
the only problem with your autoconf installation.  It was reporting
problems finding other AC_* macros too, though it could have been some
kind of cascading error problem.

Again, I don't have much admin experience on Debian or Ubuntu, so I
can't be of much help.

Is there a "force a reinstall of autoconf and libtool" option?
Again, I'm clueless about Debian packaging, so I could be leading you
off a cliff ;)
