Libtool-1.5.6 may fix this problem, please try it.

Thanks for following up on this.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to test this yet. CVS autoconf now
appears to want "help2man", which I have not yet succeeded in
building/installing on Cygwin. (The attempt sent me on quite a wild
goose chase, though: help2man wants perl Locale::gettext wants fresher
gettext (than Cygwin packages) wants a C# compiler (!...fortunately this
dependency could be disabled).)

I just updated one of my systems to libtool 1.5.6, ran libtoolize to ensure
that the support files in my conftools/ subdirectory were updated, then
executed autoheader, autoconf, 'make distclean' and ./configure to bring
everything back to square one. Unfortunately, the problem still exists (and
is identical).
This problem of /.libs/.libs/ showing up on the link line seems to date back
to 2000, at least according to Google. In many cases it was dismissed as
someone adding -L./.libs or something to the link command, or otherwise
manually futzing with the libtool commands. I'm not doing that here.
I tried looking through the libtool script and, frankly, I needed to lay
down afterwards. That made my head hurt.

Dammit, looks like I only fixed it in HEAD, not branch-1-5. :(
Looking for the patch now.... this looks like the relevant bit. Can you
please apply it and confirm a fix, thanks.

Hi, guys,
sorry for probably stupid question but I can nor find problem myself.
I have windows DLL file compiled using msvc++ I need to convert into
Linux library (ELF) that could be used by Oracle on Linux as external library.
As I understood I need to use dlltool - by how to compile it on Linux or
I can use something different. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Greetings,
I'm attempting to install Gaim 0.77, which is built with
autoconf/automake. It builds fine, but I'm having trouble with gmake
install and libtool in particular.
The version distributed with gaim is 1.4.3, but I have 1.5.2 installed
locally on the system as well. The behavior is exhibited when either is
used.
I've run ./configure and accepted the default prefix, /usr/local, because
that is where the program will be running out of. However, gmake install
prefix=/tmp/gaim fails. The specific error is:
libtool: install: error: cannot install `gaim-remote.la' to a directory
not ending in /usr/local/lib/gaim
Two caveats:
1) the prefix needs to be /usr/local to the program's eye,
because that is where it will run out of. It will actually be installed
to another directory (on afs) and then symlinked in to /usr/local for
sitewide distribution purposes.
2) It can't install to /usr/local, because that's a read-only volume.
Is there a way to tell libtool to ignore the prefix for installation
purposes, or must I copy each file by hand to the directory I wish to
move the files to? Is there something I'm missing about how libtool
operates?
