Hi Bruce,

Note that it’s libltdl that could not be found, not the ‘libtool’
command (which comes with the Guile tarball), as suggested by the
configure output you posted:

   $ ./configure
  .........
  checking for libltdl... no
  configure: error: GNU libltdl (Libtool) not found, see README.

Thus, on Debian and derivatives, you should run:

  apt-get install libltdl-dev

See <https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libltdl-dev>.

HTH,
Ludo’.
