I'm not using automake - only autoconf so I have no DESTDIR. Regardless, this
wasn't the problem.

I grabbed your tgz and started poking it. You're right - yours works. I was
totally baffled as to why b/c when I used exactly the same commands it would
still try to relink the library and fail. Finally, I copied the libtool out
of foo-0.0 and tried it in my source dir. The problems vanished.
It seems this is a bug in the newest libtool - I had checked mine out of cvs
about three days ago whereas I believe yours was 3 months old.
The new libtool will put a --rpath in the library compilation and thus need
to relink the dependent library. Try:
cd foo-0.0
copy in the newest ltmain.sh from cvs
./configure
make clean
make
clear (the next command is noisy and has an error you have to search for)
make install DESTDIR=`pwd`/tmp
Truely horrifying is that libtool doesn't even stop after failing to relink
- it just continues on it's merry way. Look for the telltale error somewhere
in your scrollback history:
gcc -shared bar.lo -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lfoo
-Wl,-soname -Wl,libbar.so.0 -o .libs/libbar.so.0.0.0
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfoo
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
libtool: install: error: relink `libbar.la' with the above command before
installing it
Bleh. Well, by downgrading my libtool this is no longer a concern for me.
However, I'd be happy to provide any more info to help in fixing this.
