AARRRRGGH! Die Libtool, die!

[Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>]

(desparate frustration mode)

Automake, autoconf, libtool. They should be taken out and
shot. Perhaps their authors too.

(argh)

after cvs-upping, I did.

   ./configure --disable-elisp --enable-htmldoc --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-ltdl-install --prefix=/home/hanwen/usr/pkg/guile/
   make

(all went fine)

then

	make install


	make[1]: Binnengaan van map `/home/hanwen/usr/src/savannah/official-guile/guile/guile-core/libguile'
	/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /home/hanwen/usr/pkg/guile//lib
	 /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c  libguile.la /home/hanwen/usr/pkg/guile//lib/libguile.la
	libtool: install: warning: relinking `libguile.la'

	mv: cannot stat `libguile.so.15.0.0': No such file or directory
	libtool: install: error: relink `libguile.la' with the above command before installing it
	make[1]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Fout 1
	make[1]: Weggaan uit map `/home/hanwen/usr/src/savannah/official-guile/guile/guile-core/libguile'
	make: *** [install-am] Fout 2

WTF is it recompiling stuff during installation? 

	 rm libguile.la 
 	 make
	 [..]
	make install

gives


	(cd
	/home/hanwen/usr/src/savannah/official-guile/guile/guile-core/libguile;
	/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=relink gcc -g -O2 -Werror -Wall

I can't believe this. Every single time that I've tried to do a major
upgrade of CVS guile, there have been unfathomable issues with libtool
and libltdl. Why is this always so complicated?

	$ rpm -q libtool automake make gcc 
	libtool-1.4.2-12
	automake-1.6.3-1.jcb1
	make-3.79.1-14
	gcc-3.2-7
