I will not respond to private questions like that - if there is an issue that needs explanation, a question on a archived  mailing list will benefit all of the community, not just you. As to your question: with any question regarding configure, the config.log should be provided. That's the basic rule for any configure-based project so you should've been aware of that. For both make and libtool, configure tries to check their versions by invoking them with --version and then trying to match the following regexps: ^GNU Make (3.[89][[:digit:]]|[4-9]) \(GNU libtool.*\) (2[[:digit:]]*\.|1\.6[[:digit:]]*\.|1\.5\.[2-9][[:digit:]]+) So: - Ensure that the versions of make/libtool you've installed are available in the $PATH (and not preceded in $PATH by some outdated version, e.g. in your $HOME/bin). - See what your `make --version` and `libtool --version` print and see if it matches the regexps above.
