I succeeded in compiling except for the gnuplot image problem already

System Details
32-bit Intel Core Duo
Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04
automake-1.11
autoconf-2.62
libtool-2.2.6

I went backwards with libtool versions and confirmed that libtool-2.2.4
and libtool-2.2.2 work so the LT_PREREQ can be changed to 2.2.2.  It is
the 1.5.X series which doesn't work.
