Sometime on Jun 15, Laura Vance assembled some asciibets to say:

which is what's strange, because this command is supposed to create the
libltdl directory.  Maybe create an empty libltdl directory and see what
happens.

yep

ah, this version screwed me too.  I now have 3 versions of automake
installed because different programs require different versions.  I
suppose we'll have to wait till version 10 before they iron out all
issues and make autotools truly generic.  I don't blame them.  It is a
pain to deal with so many different OSes claiming to be POSIX compliant
:D
