You need both:
- run `libtoolize --copy' once, to get ltmain.sh.
- ensure aclocal finds the libtool macros.  They are in libtool.m4 and
  if needed ltdl.m4.  These files should either be part of your package,
  or installed in a location aclocal searches; typically, the latter is
  $prefix/share/aclocal, if $prefix is the --prefix where Automake was
  installed.  Most likely /usr/share/aclocal/.

Cheers,
Ralf
