Protobuf: error in autogen.sh?

[nvarini]

Hi, I would like to install protobuf-3.1.0 locally. Since there is no configure in the release tar.gz, I executed:
[nvarini@deneb2 protobuf-3.1.0]$ ./autogen.sh

Any idea?

Sounds like the libtool is not correctly installed.
Is this issue related?

Thank you, sudo apt-get install libtool worked for me.

I should note for others finding this page that I also had to sudo apt-get install autoconf to get ./autogen.sh to work.
