     Jason's query got me to thinking, and I realized I've got Apple's latest
     Xcode package version 2.2 installed.  Thus, the GNU libtools needed is not
     the same libtools that Xcode installs in the default /sw/bin area.  
Changing
     the GNU libtools to be located in /usr/local seems to have solved this
     problem.
     
     I'm still experiencing two other issues.  The first is with setting up
     psppire with configure.  When I get to the stage of running configure in
     psppire directory, I get the following:
     
     checking for ANSI C header files... (cached) yes 
     checking for double... yes 
     checking size of double... 8
     ./configure: line 21308: syntax error near unexpected token `PACKAGE,'
     ./configure: line 21308: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PACKAGE, gtk+-2.0 >= 2.6.0)'
     
     Here's the relevant area in ./configure file:
     
     cat >>confdefs.h <<_ACEOF
     #define SIZEOF_DOUBLE $ac_cv_sizeof_double 
     _ACEOF
     
     PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PACKAGE, gtk+-2.0 >= 2.6.0) 
     PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GLADE, libglade-2.0)
     
     I've got gtk+2 2.4.9-9 and libglade2 2.3.6-17 installed. I've also got the
     latest versions of libtool (1.5.22), autoconf (2.59), automake (1.9.6), and
     m4 (1.4.4) installed.


This is strange.  Possibly you have a broken automake installation.
What do you get if you type "aclocal --version"? and what about
"aclocal --print-ac-dir" ?

If you have a properly installed version of automake 1.9.6, then
typing: "ls `aclocal --print-ac-dir` " should give you a list of
files.  Do you see pkg.m4 amoung them?
