libtool.m4 is shipped by Libtool.  Do you have Libtool installed?

 Donn> Locate agrees.

What do you mean?

 Donn> This is a SuSE 8.0 distro upgraded - kernel 2.4.20pre11.

 Donn> =====================================

Which test failed?

[...]

 Donn> Also autoconf is reporting that automake lacks libtool.m4 

When does this happen?

This looks like a correct execution as far as I can tell.  Does it
exit with a non-zero status?

 Donn> All other libtool#.tests seem to work.

 Donn> ERROR after aclocal and coming from autoconf (from note

When does this happen?
