It would be better to install the libtool package from your distribution. If you
install it yourself to /usr/local chances are small that aclocal will pick up
the libtool.m4.

As an alternative you could get yourself the gst-plugin-bad package from git and
try gst-element-maker, this will take over gst-template (yes, the docs shall be
fixed).
