Why can't I install libzmq in order to have ratchet working ? (Websocket)

Question

Not sure if I'm posting on the correct Stack Exchange forum. Please redirect me to the proper one if needed.

When setting up Ratchet, I need to install ZeroMQ and I am stuck at the libzmq installation:

I have followed the instructions https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/blob/master/INSTALL I'm on mac os X 10.9

when doing the following command:

./autogen.sh

here is what I get:

autoreconf: Entering directory `.'

autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext

autoreconf: running: aclocal -I config --force -I config

main::scan_file() called too early to check prototype at /opt/lo/bin/aclocal line 617.

autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing

configure.ac:58: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

configure:5242: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC

configure:5246: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_ENABLE_STATIC

autoreconf: /opt/lo/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

autogen.sh: error: autoreconf exited with status 0

And I can't have it working.

Please help

Many Thanks

This happened to me when installing a different package. The fix was to install libtool with:

$ sudo apt-get install libtool

then run:

$ ./auto_gen.sh

then you can proceed as normal:

$ ./configure && make
$ sudo make install
