What are libtool&#39;s .la file for?

When building my application with kdevelop 3.5 on Ubuntu 10.04, I get the following errors:

    libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.2.6 Debian-2.2.6a-4, but the
    libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.6b.
    libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6 Debian-2.2.6a-4
    libtool: and run autoconf again.
    make[2]: *** [wktools4] Error 63
    make[2]: Target `all&#39; not remade because of errors.
    make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
    make: *** [all] Error 2
    *** Exited with status: 2 ***

Where can I get the needed version of libtool, or how can I recreate aclocal.m4?
