I think the line above should be

  libsample2_la_LIBADD = ../../src/libsample1.la

Note the three changes:
1) add a dependency to libsample2, not to libfmkmgr.  
2) add a missing equals sign.
3) remove the .libs/ from the path.

I assume the first two are a cut-and-paste typo and are correct in your
code, but the last one is hopefully the one that will fix your problems.
If that's not the case, then please post the output
  ./libtool --config

Another note:

> libsample2_la_SOURCES = *.c

Automake recommends listing all sources explicitly.  The above will fail
if you (or your users) try to use a build tree separate from the source
tree; also, it may include sources that you may not want included (I do
  cp foo.c foo.bak.c

sometimes when I would like to keep some version intermediately, for
example).

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
