How to install Ogg Vorbis on older systems?

I'm searching for an exact description what system requirements are
necessary to compiler Ogg Vorbis (there seems to be a lot).

CODE


pfk@f:/home/cvs/ao > ./autogen.sh

I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish

to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.

Generating configuration files for libao, please wait....

 aclocal

 libtoolize --automake

 automake --add-missing

configure.in: 30: required file `./ltconfig' not found

 autoconf

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c

checking whether build environment is sane... yes

checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes

checking for working aclocal... found

checking for working autoconf... found

checking for working automake... found

checking for working autoheader... found

checking for working makeinfo... found

checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking for gcc... gcc

checking for C compiler default output... a.out

checking whether the C compiler works... yes

checking whether we are cross compiling... no

checking for suffix of executables...

checking for suffix of object files... o

checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes

checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes

checking for ranlib... ranlib

checking for ld used by GCC... /usr/bin/ld

checking if the linker (/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld... yes

checking for BSD-compatible nm... /usr/bin/nm -B

checking whether ln -s works... yes

./ltconfig: ./ltconfig: No such file or directory

configure: error: libtool configure failed

Currently I was only able to compile Ogg Vorbis on a Debian system
and such restrictions are a K.O. criterium for archiving tools.


Second:

Where can I find a static linked Ogg Vorbis Encoder and Decoder
for Linux, Kernel 2.0.1...2.5.xx ?
Especially for Linux static linked binaries making a lot of sense
because every system uses slightly different libraries. The situation
is actually worse than the situaution under Windows 95/NT 4.0.
