Have you checked the prerequisites as described in README.CVS?

I suspect that your libtoolize script is too old.  The `--install'
option has been introduced in libtool version 2.2 (March 2008). Since
the configure script and its auxiliary files are distributed with the
final tarball I always use the newest versions of automake, autoconf,
and libtool, if necessary.

However, autogen.sh contains a function `check_too_version' to test
whether libtoolize (and Darwin's glibtoolize) version is too old.  Can
you please find out why this has failed for you?
