Thank you for your reply Stephen. I have installed autoconf 2.5.9, automake 1.8 and libtool 1.5.
I originally did install them using the defaults, but then I went and rebuilt them with the proper prefix, --prefix=/usr. Today I was still having problem with them seeking in /usr/local so I ran "make uninstall" from the current /usr and then rebuilt and installed them with the defaults in /usr/local. WHen I search for them using "whereis" it only reports the /usr/local/bin/programs. When I run the commands with --version it reports the proper version. I had to copy the contents of /usr/share/aclocal down to the /usr/local/share/aclocal location to remove the beginning errors again. I also checked out the tools from the CVS server again and now it is where the messages are below. It still terminates at the same location. Perhaps you can help identify what I need to build this thing. I did post the enitre output so I also turned wordwrap off on this post to help readability. You may need to turn wordwrap off as well. The glib.m4 file is in the /usr/local/share/aclocal location as well. Also, on the automake program, it creates another directory named automake-1.8 and aclocal-1.8 as well as the others. Don't know if that makes a difference but thought I would mention it.
