Normally you could run the glibtoolize program on your Mac OS X 10.5  
system and rerun the aclocal and autoconf scripts before running  
configure, but alas that also does not produce a working installation.

The quick workaround:

	./configure ........
	cp /usr/bin/glibtool libtool
	make


For some reason, the glibtool script is not the same as what  
glibtoolize installs in your project.

When i have a moment i will try to digg out the exact differences, so  
i can file a bugreport to Apple.
