Yes, ./autogen.sh is what you should run. The above errors indicate
an incorrectly installed libtool. To ensure that the auto* suite works
correctly it seems you must install it in the order: autoconf. automake
and lastly libtool, and also install them all with the same prefix.

This is normal. It's not an error, just a warning.
