Problem is, when you install like that, libtool cannot run $finish_cmds, as that typically (e.g., 'ldconfig -n' on GNU/Linux) requires libraries to show up at their final location, not in a temporary staging directory. So once the libraries are in their final location, you can either wait for a reboot (or ldconfig) to happen by some system mechanism, or you can run the --finish command line to achieve the same goal. You can safely ignore the warning during distcheck, as that just exercises a DESTDIR install. Cheers, Ralf
