I got an error while trying to compile a library in centOS 7, and i tried reinstall libtool but it does not help. Below is the error

+ autoreconf --install
configure.ac:32: warning: macro 'AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
configure.ac:32: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
