I'm getting the following error when trying to make the latest cvs tree:

libtool: ltconfig version `1.3.4' does not match ltmain.sh version `1.3.3'
Fatal configuration error.  See the libtool docs for more information.

I do have libtool installed (RH 6.1 RPM).  I uninstalled it, thinking there
may be a conflict, and got this other error:

please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.

FWIW, I downloaded and installed 0.8.0 with no problems...
