I am having a bit of trouble building the distribution. Patience please
as I am a relative linux newbie although a quite experienced windoze
developer.

I am using libtool 1.3.5

my first attempt running autogen.sh resulted in:

=======================================================================
treyvan@JIM-2000 /cygdrive/d/Mono/mono-09-Aug-01/mono
$ ./autogen.sh
**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.
If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the
`./autogen.sh' command line.

processing .
Running libtoolize...
Running aclocal  ...
aclocal: configure.in: 12: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 17: macro `AM_PATH_GLIB' not found in library

**Error**: aclocal failed. This may mean that you have not
installed all of the packages you need, or you may need to
set ACLOCAL_FLAGS to include "-I $prefix/share/aclocal"
for the prefix where you installed the packages whose
macros were not found
=======================================================================

Editing the configure.in files and changing AM_PROG_LIBTOOL and
AM_PATH_GLIB to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL and AC_PATH_GLIB seemed to correct
those errors, but subsequently my next attempt resulted in the
errors below.

=======================================================================

$ ./autogen.sh
**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
