autogen.sh: error: could not find libtool. libtool is required to run autogen.sh

[ggitau]

I get the above error on Ubuntu 15.04 despite having installed libtool. I realised that the libtool command is not available but the libtoolize command is .I was able to build normally by changing the autogen.sh line below

command -v libtool >/dev/null 2>&1

to

command -v libtoolize >/dev/null 2>&1

Thanks for pointing out the issue.

I did this and it worked also
ln -s /usr/bin/libtoolize /usr/bin/libtool

I got the same error in Ubuntu 14.04 while trying to install JZMQ.
Could you please tell how do I write above commands in 14.04?

Somehow I need to install libtool-bin and now I can run ./autogen.sh . But now I can't run make and sudo make install. I get "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop." error.

Thanks. Having the same issue

The libtool executable script in Debian and Ubuntu has been moved to a different package, libtool-bin, since it is not actually needed (autotool chain will generate it on the fly). This was fixes in PR #1497 so this issue can be closed.
