No thats not quite correct during the autoconf stage (it is when
compiling), aclocal looks for macros in the default place where
it was installed, which is /usr/share/aclocal, and that is the
problem it is having.

I think he's missing the libtool macros, which probably means
he's missing (or maybe out of date) libtool (or alternatively,
auto* can't find it), try searching for libtool.m4, that is
where that macro is defined.
