Side question: Did you not run `make' before running `make install'?
Installation should not cause recompilation (but it may cause relinking
at times).

The problem is connected to automake/libtool version dependencies.
Packages libtoolized with version <1.5 create `libtool' scripts which do
not understand the --tag option, new automaken however create rules
which contain the tag option.

Methinks you did not re-run the autotools before building.  They are
usually called from a script called `bootstrap' or similar, within the
top level source directory.  Then rerun configure, make, and make
install.

If usbobex is an actively maintained project, you should ask the
maintainer to use up-to-date autotools with the tarballs he distributes.
That way you should not have to deal with any of the yourself at all.

Ralf
