static and dynamic libraries in different path

[Denis Corbin]

Hello,

How can I handle the case where the static version of a given library is 
not located in the same directory than its dynamic version?

Under Fedora Core 3, the "libattr.so" library resides under /lib while 
the "libattr.a" is placed under /usr/lib. I use autoconf to determine 
the path of the library. This works fine when using either static or 
dynamic only linking. But if both are selected (which is the default for 
my prog), the static linking fails because the library is not found at 
the "right" place.

I don't know where to handle the different paths between static and 
dynamic versions of the same library, (configure.ac file? libtool option 
I missed somewhere?).

Any help is welcome.

Cheers,
Denis Corbin.
