Hi, Yes, this is a well known issue and I'm having a pain in my arse with finding how to solve it. The problem is that core name clashes with core directory and core dump file potentially existing in source root. autotools actions do clean core dump files, so they try to do "rm -f core" which in fact tries to remove SOCI core subdirectory from filesystem and this, obviously, fails. Simple solution would be to...rename SOCI's core directory. Maciej, I'm a kind of lost with how to solve this annoying issue. Number of people have asked for solution. Would it be renaming possible?
