Hi! What shall I do, when I get this message? This warning happened when I first configured a library (expat) to install in /usr/local/expat/2.0.1, but then changed my mind and installed it in /usr/local via make. Like this:
$ cd /src/expat $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/expat/2.0.1 $ make $ sudo make install prefix=/usr/local Obviously, "make install prefix=/usr/local" forgets to update libexpat.la. In fact, when I read the "make install" console, it reports at one line: libtool: install: warning: remember to run `libtool --finish /usr/local/expat/2.0.1/lib' But before I noticed this message I built another library (Apache's apr-util), and got the warning: $ cd /src/apr/apr-util $ ./configure ... --with-expat=/usr/local ... $ make ... libtool: link: warning: library `/usr/local/lib/libexpat.la' was moved so I went back to /src/expat and run that finishing command: $ cd /src/expat $ libtool --finish /usr/local/expat/2.0.1/lib $ sudo make install prefix=/usr/local Without any results... Building the other library (apr-util) still reported: libtool: link: warning: library `/usr/local/lib/libexpat.la' was moved so I decided to clean and reconfigure expat $ cd expat $ make clean $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install and that was the only way I could fix the installation path. My second library (apr-util) builds without any warning. Even if I manage to fix it myself by rebuilding libexpat from scratch, I'm intrested to hear what I can achieve using libtool --finish command. How can I update those darn .la files without using my favorite text-editor? Thanks for any insight!
