Libtool error installing osm2pgsql from source

Question

I'm trying to install osm2pgsql from source on OSX Mavericks. I'm following the basic steps in the readme, but when I try running ./autogen.sh I'm getting a libtool error:

autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy --force
Can't exec "libtoolize": No such file or directory at /usr/local/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 345,  line 4.
autoreconf: failed to run libtoolize: No such file or directory
autoreconf: libtoolize is needed because this package uses Libtool

I have installed all the dependencies, and have the latest versions of autoconf and automake. Can't figure out why it can't find libtoolize. If I run locate libtoolize I can see it's installed.

What's going on?

Update

As per suggestion in the first comment, I tried adding the following lines to the autogen.sh script:

case `uname` in Darwin*) glibtoolize --copy ;;
  *) libtoolize --copy ;; esac

This seems to get a little further, but still gets stuck. This is the output in Terminal:

$ ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy --force

autoreconf: failed to run libtoolize: No such file or directory
autoreconf: libtoolize is needed because this package uses Libtool
glibtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
glibtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh'
glibtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `m4'.
glibtoolize: copying file `m4/libtool.m4'
glibtoolize: copying file `m4/ltoptions.m4'
glibtoolize: copying file `m4/ltsugar.m4'
glibtoolize: copying file `m4/ltversion.m4'
glibtoolize: copying file `m4/lt~obsolete.m4'
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Still no luck getting it to actually work yet... Any help?

You will need to modify the autogen.sh script. libtool is usually installed as glibtool and glibtoolize on OSX. — Brett Hale
Any idea how it needs to be modified? The autogen.sh script only contains the following two lines: #!/bin/sh autoreconf -vfi — kinkersnick
I have altered the autogen.sh script as suggested in the question you linked, but it hasn't worked – see update above — kinkersnick

try this:

backup your autogen.sh
delete the libtoolize/libtool check code in the autogen.sh, something like

(libtoolize --version) < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 || { ... }

replace with this :

gprefix=which glibtoolize 2>&1 >/dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then glibtoolize --force else libtoolize --force fi

4.run autogen.sh again
