Opensmpp Plus Kannel Debian 11

Hello to all:

Debian Bulleye 11 (NO GUI bare-bones).
Kannel bearerbox version `1.4.5'. Compiler `10.1.0'. System Linux, 
release 5.10.0-26-amd64,

I was successful in installing Kannel via the apt packages with no 
problem, I was able to setup a fake SMSC to test and I saw the admin 
panel showcase sent sms from the fake smsc I setup.

I continued reading and wanted to install opensmpp  and here is where 
the problem occurs. It seems I am not able to setup opensmpp without 
having the source kannel compile meaning (apt package might not be good 
option).

I checkout svn both the gateway/trunk and opensmpp/trunk and I am not 
able to compile either of them on the debian box.

gateway when ./configure complaints that:
===============================================
sed: can't read ./ltmain.sh: No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat 'libtoolT': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat 'libtoolT': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access 'libtool': No such file or directory
(After it completes)
License information ....

Thank you for using Kannel.


opensmpp when ./configure complaints:
=====================================================
gwlib is not installed (this is with apt install kannel kannel-extra).


Also, I looked at the config.log of both and it doesn't seem like 
anything major showing I had an issue with some missing library which I 
solved by installing libxml++2.6-dev and libtool libtool-bin (I 
installed thinking something was missing).

I saw this in the config.log (nothing stands out) and glance the libtool 
bash script with 7000+ lines of code.

Am I missing something here? Can anyone point me to documentation, blog, 
and/or write their experience installing opensmpp addon with the Debian 
package kannel kannel-extra?

Thank you in advance.
