Does your setup otherwise respect all the limitations I outlined in this message: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2006-09/msg00066.html IOW: are there no deplibs of the to-be-installed programs and libraries that are not accessible through /usr/local/lib but only through /afs/blah/dest/sun4x_59/local/bison/1875/lib? If no, then the above sequence should be a decent workaround for the current restriction that at `make install' time, the string `$(DESTDIR)$(prefix)' has to end in the value of `$(prefix)' at `make' time. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
