Best I can remember I added a -I/path/to/libtool/automacros/ to the ACLOCAL flags on the machine that gives me this problem. And it makes no sense to me why this should be needed - from my POV automake, autoconf, and libtool should know how to play nice together but libtool has problems in this regard way too often. A long time ago the folks who wrote a modules.sf.org-friendly ports system (I think they were at kth.se) had a patch to (near as I can remember) add a new environment variable to aclocal so one could easily support multiple installed versions of libtool. I tried to get that patch accepted into the mainstream auto* codebase but was unsuccessful. > I have the same problem under FreeBSD, and `autoreconf -fv` gives me the > same results that you were getting.

Also note that while we are still shipping ntp releases using 2.59 and 1.9.whatever, I am using 2.61 and 1.10 internally on several machines. I think I'll be cutting over to 2.61 and 1.10 as soon as I release ntp-4.2.6 (expected in about another month or so).
