Hi Again,
I install SWIG 1.3.31 on my Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and download through SVN the
latest GNU Radio version.
Compiling I receive this critical error:

Yes, this is the “Ubuntu libtool problem”.
(Looks like they’ve propagated the bad idea to 6.06 LTS too.)
I suspect that you are using Debian libtool-1.5.22-4.
$ libtool --version
Try rolling back to libtool-1.5.22-3
and let us know what happens.
After rolling back, you’ll need to remove the old version that was
installed in top level of your build tree and rebuild
$ make distclean
$ rm libtool ltmain.sh
$ ./bootstrap && ./configure
$ make
If Ubuntu libtool-1.5.22-3 still has the problem, please use the
unmolested libtool 1.5.22 available at
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.22.tar.gz
I’d really appreciate it if a Debian or Ubuntu expert would take a
look at this and give us a solid recommendation on how to work around
this. It would also be good to talk to the Debian/Ubuntu libtool
packagers and let them know about the problem (can’t test libraries
without installing them), and see if we can get them to stop breaking
libtool.

No, I have libtool-1.5.22-2.

Done, but it doesn’t work. I remove deeply the compilation folder and
download again by SVN tree. While ./boostrap script runs, I receive some
cryptic messages:

Something’s hosed with either your autoconf or libtool installation.
I’ve just built GNU Radio from scratch on an Ubuntu 6.06 LTS machine
with no problem. That machine was using:
eb@nyquist:~$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
eb@nyquist:~$ libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.22 Debian 1.5.22-2 (1.1220.2.365

Random guess: you’ve got more than one version of libtool installed
(perhaps in a different path), and autoconf isn’t looking in the
directory in which you installed libtool. It appears that libtool was
installed with using the package manager. Is it in /usr/local?
Ok, I remove automake-1.8 and I install automake-1.8. ./bootstrap run
nicely, but during compiling I receive the same error as above:

From the messages in the prior email, it appears that libtool isn’t
the only problem with your autoconf installation. It was reporting
problems finding other AC_* macros too, though it could have been some
kind of cascading error problem.
Again, I don’t have much admin experience on Debian or Ubuntu, so I
can’t be of much help.
Is there a “force a reinstall of autoconf and libtool” option?
Again, I’m clueless about Debian packaging, so I could be leading you
off a cliff

David, there’s no indication that any of your problems have to do with
automake. I’m not sure why you’re messing with that.

This is the Ubuntu libtool symptom.
It’s being triggered here because it’s trying to link against the
installed version of the library, not the build version of the
library. The problem is that it’s passing the “–rpath
/usr/local/lib” to the linker. This is wrong at this stage of the
build.
I believe that you can change the symptom by doing a “make uninstall”
and ensuring that there’s no gnuradio related stuff in PREFIX/lib or
PREFIX/lib/python/site-packages/gnuradio.
When you rebuild, I believe that it will fail someplace else in the
build.

You believe wrong! 
I done “make uninstall”, “make distclean” and then… everything
works!
Thank you,
Glad to hear it’s working, though I still suspect there’s a problem
lurking here somewhere…
