[HarfBuzz] Error building harfbuzz 0.9.7

[Silver, Jonathan]

I am actually trying to install ganglia, but, it requires rrdtool which requires pango which requires harfbuzz.
(and freetype and cairo and ....) If anyone is familiar with this tool and I am missing something, please correct me.

Does anyone know if I can use the old harfbuzz?.

I have Open SUSE. I downloaded the new harfbuzz (from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/harfbuzz/) and automake 1.12)
and get the following error running ./autogen.sh:


Makefile.am: installing './INSTALL'
src/Makefile.am:16: error: Libtool library used but 'LIBTOOL' is undefined
src/Makefile.am:16:   The usual way to define 'LIBTOOL' is to add 'LT_INIT'
src/Makefile.am:16:   to 'configure.ac' and run 'aclocal' and 'autoconf' again.
src/Makefile.am:16:   If 'LT_INIT' is in 'configure.ac', make sure
src/Makefile.am:16:   its definition is in aclocal's search path.

any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
jon
