My first experience as a libtool user: "A pain in the ar*se"

[bapluda]

I was installing 2 packages that use libtool:
The first one I had to hack the Makefile. It was complaining about a library
that WAS there and it said it wasn't.

The second one I don't know what to hack, I have this error:
---------------------------------------------------------------

libtool: link: warning: library `/home/mysql/robocup/lib/librcsserror.la'
was moved.
libtool: link: cannot find the library `/home/mysql/lib/librcsserror.la' or
unhandled argument `/home/mysql/lib/librcsserror.la'

------------------------------------------
again the bloody `/home/mysql/robocup/lib/librcsserror.la' is in place. And
why the heck is it searching for `/home/mysql/lib/librcsserror.la' if that
directory doesn't exist and I didn't specify that anywhere?

Really it makes me wonder if this multiplaform building isn't just a cliche,
and it's worse than just making programmers provide a separate package for
each platform.
