Downloaded it.

Tried to build it.

Redhat 7.1 is definitely too old.  The links pointing to
/usr/pack/libtool-1.4.2-to/share/libtool/ don't exist.

Redhat 7.2 (unmodified) was the next try.  Result:
[alex at home rrdtool-2002-01-16]$ ./MakeMakefile
   + find . -name Makefile
   + xargs rm
   rm: too few arguments
   Try `rm --help' for more information.
   + find . -name Makefile.in
   + xargs rm
   rm: too few arguments
   Try `rm --help' for more information.
   + libtoolize --automake
   + aclocal
   + autoheader --warnings=all
   Usage: autoheader [-h] [--help] [-m dir] [--macrodir=dir]
          [-l dir] [--localdir=dir] [--version] [template-file]
   + automake --foreign --add-missing --force-missing --copy
   automake: unrecognized option -- `--force-missing'
   Try `automake --help' for more information.
   + autoconf
   autoconf: configure.in: No such file or directory

The problem with "find . -name Makefile | xargs rm"
could probably be avoided.  Dunno how.

Versions available in stock RH7.2:

libtool:  1.4    (not 1.4.2)
automake: 1.4-p5 (not 2.12)
autoconf: 2.13   (not 2.52)

A search on the RH site proves to be rather disappointing, the
"newest" libtool is version 1.3.5-8 (yeah right, then why 1.4 ?).

Anyway, do you really need bleeding edge tools?

cheers,
