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? -- Steve Killen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
