Your distribution may make modifications to libtool to reduce the inter-library dependencies; such modification can cause problems when the build produces libraries that link to other libraries in the build. See for example: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=291641 I routinely use --prefix=/some/non-existant/path during development as most of my builds don't ever get installed. I reconfigure/rebuild to install. -- Philip
