For one, the fact that libtool may have to relink libraries and/or
executables at installation time. Of course, you might include all
the dependence libraries and object-files in the package, so as to be
able to do the relinking yourself, but... As I had suggested before,
it's far easier to just install in a separate directory and have the
package manager collect them. This will work on *most* systems. On
some, it's necessary to have the libraries already installed in the
installation directory before you can correctly link executables or
other libraries dependent on them. In this case, installing in a
separate directory just won't work, or will appear to work but will
actually look for libraries in the wrong place.
