RE: libtool error

[Matthew Ford]

Thanks for your help.  I was able to correct the problem by using
gcc2.95 to build gcc3.4.6, then rebuilding all the packages.

The -rpath option to libtool needs as an argument an absolute path.
Please take a look at the Makefile which issued this.  Most likely
it contains something like
   -rpath $(libdir)

or a similarly named macro.  Find out why the macro is empty; it
shouldn't be.  Usually it would be substituted at the end of configure,
by config.status; in the corresponding Makefile.in there'd be a line
  libdir = @libdir@

or so.  The config.log file may contain information about its setting.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
