Not sure it's worth > spending a lot of time on this convoluted scenario :) I looked some more into it, and I think what happens is that: - libvirt.so gets installed to $DESTDIR/$libdir - libvirt-qemu.so gets relinked by libtool during installation, but uses libvirt from $libdir for this relink - $libdir/libvirt.so gets replaced with $DESDIR/$libdir/libvirt.so - libvirt-qemu.so now has some references to a library that has now disappeared http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Install-mode.html seems to indicate this scenario cannot be supported correctly :( "For systems where fast installation can not be turned on, relinking may be needed. In this case, a ‘DESTDIR’ install will fail. Currently it is not generally possible to install into a temporary staging area that contains needed third-party libraries which are not yet visible at their final location. " (I think linux doesn't have fast installation) Christophe
