Compiling Evolution 1.5.90 Slackware 10.0 gcc 3.3.4 autoconf 2.59 automake 1.8.5 libtool 1.5.6 m4 1.4.1 SOME .la file created during compilation have incorrect paths and I can't figure out why! Actually, the paths are OK, but convoluted! This results in warnings from libtool and forced recompilation of modules when make install is run. The example below contains libraries which were all properly installed in the standard /usr/lib directory. I do not understand what's going on. I did review the spec files and compared it with gcc 3.2.3 the last version I used and this problem did not occur. I am enclosing the relevant spec file part, the gcc search dirs output, the make output with warnings, and the .la file output from the target created. If anyone has some insight as to what's happening, I sure would appreciate it. Bottom line, program compiles fine, but I hate warnings like this. Also, I don't understand why some libraries show this problem, and others don't!
