I don't know if you have to mention in your README.md about installing the libtool
package.
sudo apt-get install libtool
The error is gone after installing the above package.
In addition, I think it would also be nice to mention in your readme file on how to install in a local directory. My code would be something like this. Just in case someone needs... I am running on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64 system
sudo apt-get install libtool realpath
# clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/dcjones/fastq-tools.git
# rename the directory to a download date (Optional)
mv fastq-tools fastq-tools_20150213feb
cd fastq-tools_20150213feb
./autogen.sh
# Configure the installation path to the current directory
./configure --prefix=$(realpath .)
make
make install
# copy the man pages (with sudo privileges)
sudo cp share/man/man1/* /usr/share/man/man1/
