The problem has to do with requiring relinking at install time.  This
is necessary when one library in the build tree depends on another
library in the build tree.  The other library must be installed first,
and, when the former is to be installed, the other must already be
accessible in its previously-specified installation path, which is
different from the prefix you have specified at install time.

In general, when relinking is necessary, you must not use a different
prefix to install than the one used to build.
