[Nut-upsdev] Red Hat Enterprise 3 build

[Ronald Reed]

OK, I updated automake and autoconf:

[buildbot at crypt trunk]$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61

[buildbot at crypt trunk]$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.9.6

Now the error is:

[buildbot at crypt trunk]$ autoreconf && ./configure && make
distcheck-light
configure.in:67: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use
m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/local/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

So, do I have an older version of libtool also?
