how to install ltsmin？

[yin99]

I git the code of ltsmin. But I cannot install it.( OS is ubuntu)

Installation Instructions tells me input "./configure --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix /path/ ".But there is no ./configure.
Building from a Git Repository told me "./ltsminreconf".Then these message as fallow were printed on my shell :
"Note: Do NOT run aclocal by yourself, even if requested by autoreconf.
This is done automatically.
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
configure.ac:36: error: unknown libltdl build type: _LTDL_TYPE
m4/ltdl.m4:226: LTDL_INIT is expanded from...
configure.ac:36: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
"

Are you sure you have installed all dependencies listed here?

Anyway, you can ignore "Note: Do NOT run aclocal by yourself, even if requested by autoreconf.", this message is harmless. Seems something wrong with libltdl (libtool?) but I don't know what.

Thanks. I will try again to install all dependencies.

By the way, if all dependencies were ok , can I successfully install it by simply running ./ltsminreconf ？

Hi Yin,
After installing the dependencies, you first do

$ git submodule update --init
$ ./ltsminreconf

and then you follow the normal installation procedure with ./configure ... ; make ; make install
