I think it's looking for an "libltdl" directory inside the ayttm cvs

# rpm -q libltdl
libltdl-0.1.3-1mdk

Is it the line that says "AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([1.6 dist-bzip2 dist-zip])"?  
So I'd need version 1.6?

When I upgraded automake and autoconf, I installed them from tarballs.  
I also uninstalled the rpms as I installed each.
# automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.8.4
