missing libtool? wrong automake version?

[Pierre Abbat]

I'm running kdevelop 3.3.2 and I took a kdevelop 2 project, untarred the 
tarball, made a new kdevelop 3 project, and added all the source files. I 
then try to compile it and I get this:

cd '/home/phma/estul' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make -f 
Makefile.cvs && mkdir '/home/phma/estul/debug' && cd '/home/phma/estul/debug' 
&& CFLAGS="-O0 -g3 " "/home/phma/estul/configure" --enable-debug=full && 
cd '/home/phma/estul/debug' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" 
make -k 
aclocal
aclocal: configure.in: 8: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
make: *** [all] Error 1
*** Exited with status: 2 ***

I try to install libtool, but the package manager complains that it conflicts 
with libtool1.4, but there is no such package. automake 1.4 is installed, and 
contains a file libtool.am. automake versions 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9 are 
available. Should I upgrade the automake? I'm running Ubuntu 6.06.
