[Help-gsl] Building GSL

Hello

I am trying to build gsl from the git repo.

I have

bash-3.2$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69

bash-3.2$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.15.1

bash-3.2$ libtool --version
libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.6

If I try running autoconf, I get errors

bash-3.2$ autoconf
configure.ac:6: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:8: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE

Searching the web suggests trying  autoreconf -i -v but this gives lots of 
errors about libtool.

bash-3.2$ autoreconf -i -v
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal 
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing

autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --no-force

configure.ac:101: installing './config.guess'

Makefile.am:20: error: Libtool library used but 'LIBTOOL' is undefined
Makefile.am:20:   The usual way to define 'LIBTOOL' is to add 'LT_INIT'
Makefile.am:20:   to 'configure.ac' and run 'aclocal' and 'autoconf' again.
Makefile.am:20:   If 'LT_INIT' is in 'configure.ac', make sure
Makefile.am:20:   its definition is in aclocal's search path.
Makefile.am: installing './depcomp'

I do seem to get a configure file but running it results in errors
