[HarfBuzz] (noob?) Building HB

[Shriramana Sharma]

Sorry for this query which is probably highly "noob"-y, but I 
encountered a problem in building HB (for the first time).

Pravin Satpute advised me on the following:

1) git clone http://cgit.freedesktop.org/harfbuzz/
2) compile it
3) use hb-view for testing

but for some reason I had to replace http:// by git:// and anyhow I now 
have the source tree.

I don't know how to compile it in place without messing up the contents 
of the source tree so I just did a plain vanilla cp -R of the harfbuzz 
directory to elsewhere and did ./autogen.sh (which is the only 
executable in the root). It told me to install autoreconf so I did 
apt-get install autoconf. It then threw an error <<Can't exec 
"libtoolize">> so I did apt-get install libtool. The following is the 
error I now get and don't know to get past (so please help):

$ ./autogen.sh
