Doing a google search, I found this:

So, the first change needed is to look for libtoolize instead of libtool.

However, with 10.2, Apple changed libtoolize to glibtoolize. But, a 
simple "ln /usr/bin/glibtoolize /usr/local/bin/glibtoolize" fixed 
that problem.

Then I installed autoconf 2.54 in /usr/local/autoconf-2.54 and added 
/usr/local/autoconf-2.54/bin to the front of my path (I never replace 
Apple installed binaries when I don't have to).

autogen.sh worked, until it tried to run configure and gave 
"./autogen.sh: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission 
denied". There were no execute permissions on configure, so a "chmod 
+x configure; ./configure" worked.

Then I got the multiple define errors that were reported.

The problem here is that the call to generate the shared libraries is 
showing every exported symbol in libtds_objects.al to be defined 
twice in the same file in the archive. This is because the call to 
gcc to build the shared library is including the archives twice. Here 
is the command issued by make in src/tds:

gcc -dynamiclib -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -o 
.libs/libtds.1.0.1.dylib  -all_load  ./.libs/libtds_objects.al 
../replacements/.libs/libreplacements.al  ./.libs/libtds_objects.al 
../replacements/.libs/libreplacements.al -lc -install_name 
/usr/local/lib/libtds.1.dylib -compatibility_version 2 
-current_version 2.1

Manually running this command after stripping out the duplicates works.

I looked around the makefile, but this is one of those areas where I 
have no clue what is going on. I can work with make, but I've never 
learned the whole unix build process, aside from compiling my own 
simple projects on whatever platform I am using.
