oki,

well first of all you need to make sure you installed autoconf,
automake, gettext, libtool (your ltconfig problem) the libtool
package is required to create dynamic libraries and stuff.

the best way is to download stuff with 'CVS' and instead doing
an automake you better run the

./autogen.sh

script inside the balsa tree. youd better do this with all your
CVS downloads.

hope i was helpfull. if you still getting problems with e.g. missing
macros and configure script wasnt build at all because of missing stuff
then its usually because you have your macros installed in different
paths in this case

1) move all /usr/local/share/aclocal/* files to /usr/share/aclocal
2) then delete /usr/local/share/aclocal
3) and do a link ln -ls /usr/share/aclocal /usr/local/share/aclocal

if you use distributions then always make sure you also install all
dev (development) packages.
