Jobst,

libtool is a GNU tool used for building shared libraries.  configure 
won't create it for you - you need to install it yourself.  On Fedora 
13, you can do this either through System->Administration->Add/Remove 
Software or by typing 'pkcon install libtool' on the command line.  I 
hope this helps!
