Thank you for your answers .
I still have problems with libtool installed. I installed libtool through
FinkCommander , as you suggested but in terminal there are still errors
trying the commands:

    $ ./autogen.sh && .configure && make
rm: src/config*: No such file or directory
rm: src/makefile*: No such file or directory
libtoolize: `configure.in' does not exist
Try `libtoolize --help' for more information.
    $

What's wrong? I am in the  ~/0.41.4/  directory when trying these. Some
files are missing??

Well ,
I don't find greek / french languages nor the translated terms in Pd ugly. I
just find... the USE of these terms uggly and confusing. I would also find
"ugly" , for Americans to use something like "Star-Laws" and french people
"étoile-loi" for the Greek-originated word Astronomy. It's like an
international commitment that some names and terms have to be unchanged.
But, I found interesting the Catch-22 you did mention. I didn't know it :)

Thanks again for your time.
