"error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL" from autogen.sh

[Winston Guo]

All,

Downloaded quantlib 0.8.1 and get everything (examples and test-suited) compiled and run.

But I could not get autogen.sh work, here is the complete error message:

********************************************************************************
$ ./autogen.sh
configure.ac:63: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /ms/user/w/wguo/autoconf-2.61/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

Run the command ./configure --help for information on options
that can change the behavior of the library.
********************************************************************************

I am using automake(1.9.6)/autoconf(2.61)/libtool(1.5.22) as shown here:
$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.9.6

$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61

$ libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.22 (1.1220.2.365 2005/12/18 22:14:06)


Anything I may miss?

Thanks a lot in advance!
- Winston

aclocal might not know where to find libtool.m4.  You might have to set
a path variable.

However, if you downloaded the released QuantLib 0.8.1 tarball, you
don't need the autogen step; that's only needed when you check out the
sources from Subversion.
You can run ./configure right away.

Thanks, Luigi!

It works. I did it by creating my local aclocal, which is
$fullPath/aclocal -I $pathWithLibtool.m4InIt
