Which version of libtool are you using? libtool 1.4 has an unfortunate
bug that doesn't allow them to find chained libraries at relink time
during installation. The libtool supplied with the source of libgii has
a patch applied that fixes this bug.
One reason that the supplied libtool might not be used is that the
%configure macro or the spec file might be running "libtoolize --copy
--force". This will break things unless you patch your system libtool.
Note that if you use an unpatched system libtool version 1.4 then more
than just libgii will break during installation - many other software
packages from many other sources will break. The Debian build manager
Brian May encountered this libtool bug wich broke the entire Debian
build system.
