lib*.so not generated. Search directory problem?

[Richard Plana]

Hi,

I recently upgraded to libtool-1.4.2 (specifically RedHat 
libtool-1.4.2-6) and find that I can't compile certain packages 
correctly. It might just be a coincidence, though. At any rate, I'm 
trying to compile ORBit2-2.3.106 and libxslt-1.0.14 and everytime I do, 
I gett the ff. error:

make[3]: Entering directory `/opt/src/redhat/BUILD/ORBit2-2.3.106/test'
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /var/tmp/ORBit2-2.3.106-root/usr/bin
/bin/sh ../libtool  --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c  ior-decode-2 
/var/tmp/ORBit2-2.3.106-root/usr/bin/ior-decode-2
libtool: install: warning: `../src/orb/libORBit-2.la' has not been 
installed in `/usr/lib'
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/ior-decode-2 
/var/tmp/ORBit2-2.3.106-root/usr/bin/ior-decode-2
/bin/sh ../libtool  --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c  typelib-dump 
/var/tmp/ORBit2-2.3.106-root/usr/bin/typelib-dump
libtool: install: warning: `../src/orb/libORBit-2.la' has not been 
installed in `/usr/lib'
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/typelib-dump 
/var/tmp/ORBit2-2.3.106-root/usr/bin/typelib-dump

I don't know exactly how libtool is supposed to compile shared libs on 
an x86/Linux box, but at a guess, it seems it can't find some dependency 
libs. Also, I notice that make is using some local copy of libtool. Is 
that just generated from/by the libtool package on my system.

Hope someone can help.
