Hi,

if you didn't install "libtool" (apt-get install libtool), you'll get
this error if you try to compile the source for the second time.
Install libtool, clean up your source tree (delete the temp files
generated by the autotools; cloning again may be easier for you) and try
again.

Cheers,
    Stephan
