ORBit compile problems

["James M. Cape" <jcape jcinteractive com>]

System:

Linux 2.2.0 pre8ac1
Glibc 2.0.111 (CVS 99.01.27)
egcs 1.1.1
Libtool 1.2d
automake 2.13
autoconf 1.4

ORBit is refusing to compile with the following error:

@LIBTOOL@ --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I.    -Wall
-O6 -march=pentiumpro -c popt.c
/bin/sh: @LIBTOOL@: command not found
make[4]: *** [popt.lo] Error 127
make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/download/gnome/ORBit/popt'
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/download/gnome/ORBit/popt'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/download/gnome/ORBit'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

I know that the problem comes from configure.in, but I am at a loss as
to how to fix it.
