Hi,
My project (http://www.nongnu.org/gcmd/) consists of two parts. One shared library and one ordinary executable linked agains the library. The library gets built alright but when building the executable libtool doesn't respect the $prefix that was choosen at configure-time. What I mean is that the rpath that libtool uses at link-time always gets set to /usr/local/lib regardless of the $prefix. This obviously causes a problem after the install since the executable is linked against a library in /usr/local/lib that doesn't exist.
I checked the libtool script av saw that the variable used for rpath is libdir. Checking further I saw that all makefiles have libdir setup correctly to $(prefix)/lib.
So my question basicly is: where does libtool get the libdir variable from? And then what is the correct way of getting the correct value there?
BTW: I have checked other packages such as xmms that has the same basic layout with a library and an executable. They all work so its not a problem with the installation, its rather a problem with me not being able to figure out why they work and not my project ;)
Please CC replies to me

I did just see a similar problem, but it was related with re'configure'ing of the project sources with a different --prefix. It seems that the libtool .la file is not updated with the new prefix, I had to `make clean` before it got it right. Perhaps there's a similar thing about your stuff here that the linker script (.la) has an old prefix from an earlier build?
