	I've rarely had success trying to correct the (often mysterious)
	problems of libtool/automake/autoconf by manually 'rm'ing files.  

	If a project offers the autogen.sh script I run ./autogen.sh - that
	will also take care of possibly different automake and autoconf
	versions being present on the system.

	Is libtool 1.5 now a requirement?   Over the weekend there was another
	fellow who had a libtool related problem.   It was not too long ago
	that 1.4.2 worked fine as I recall.

	Cheers,
