There is more than one package that is affected by this problem in fact. You will have to look at their build system (i.e. their Makefiles) and figure out how to do it right. It's very well possible that you have to patch their Makefiles in the end. >upddate: I tried doing it like debian: make install DESTDIR=%i/.. >but libtool is still linking things wrong. That's nothing debian specific, but rather specific to the use of automake (or to nice people that adopted this semi-standard in their build systems, praise them). We use it in various pacakges, but it's not the default installscript, since the current default installscript works with more packages correctly).
