Hi Nelson, Bruce,

I think this is the issue, by configuring without setting libdir and 
then changing it at make install time, libtool gets confused, and builds 
libraries .la files etc with the configure time setting of libdir.

I haven't had a problem with setting --libdir at configure time and then 
running make && make install, do you perhaps recall what packages gave 
you issues with this?
