Libtool explicitly forbis relative paths because, portably, you can't
put libraries in paths other than the ones specified, and can't move
them around.  Luckily those systems are less used today.
(I know you know this, Russ; in fact, I'm citing (you?) here)

Hmm.  Maybe libtool should be less anal about relative paths when it
comes to installing programs.

Actually, I don't know what noinst_bin_PROGRAMS is supposed to mean.
noinst means it should not be installed; bin means it should be
installed in $(bindir).  The fact that Automake outputs an install rule
for this and doesn't die complaining looks awfully like an Automake bug
to me.  Or maybe it's just that the prefix rules have the priority the
other way round (match longest prefix first), gotta go and check.

Do you actually want 'make install' to copy into the build tree, a
binary linked against the installed libraries?

Cheers,
Ralf

Try using $(abs_top_builddir) instead.  I've always had bad luck with
relative paths and anything that involves libtool.

noinst_bindir

[Bob Rossi]

Hi,

I have 

noinst_bin_PROGRAMS = gdbmi_driver
noinst_bindir = $(top_builddir)/progs

and I wasn't using AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. I've never had a problem with 'make
install' before. However, since I've enabled AM_PROG_LIBTOOL,
I'm getting this error,

test -z "../progs" || mkdir -p -- "../progs"
  /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c 'gdbmi_driver' 
'../progs/gdbmi_driver'
libtool: install: `../progs' must be an absolute directory name
Try `libtool --help --mode=install' for more information.

Attached is the configure.in and Makefile.am file. Any ideas?
