    Hi, I'm trying to install faac on Mac OS X so I can encode AAC audio into mp4 files using ffmpeg. I've downloaded:

    http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?cid=3&lid=20

    And am following the install instructions:

    1. Make sure you have autoconf, automake and libtool installed.
    For MP4 support, you must have libmp4v2 (included in faad2) installed.
    2. cd to FAAC source dir
    3. Run:
    ./bootstrap
    ./configure
    make
    make install

    Configure gets an error:

    sweet:~/faac g5$ ./configure
    checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

    Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
    configure: error: libtool configure failed
    sweet:~/faac g5$ make
    make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

    Can anyone tell me what I need to do to fix?

    Thanks,

    James.
