Can you please tell us what versions you are using?  And it you could
include a mimimal example that shows the error that you're getting,

This looks like a rather old version of libtool.  The file ltconfig
went away in libtool 1.3d (2001-04-02).

That should just be a simple matter or running autoreconf.  But we
need to know more to tell you why that's not the case for you.
