Why can't it find the library? It is in the ../lib directory, right?

I can build this fine in a separate directory, on both Solaris and Linux, and
my link line is *very* similar to yours here.

I fully intend to use 'make distcheck' before I release packages now when the
test suite works again. I'm afraid this wouldn't have been caugth anyway as
seen above.

When you build in a separate directory and it fails, what does the libtool
that got created in your build dir say about its version?

$ pwd
[...]/tmp/build
$ ./libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.2 (1.922.2.54 2001/09/11 03:33:37)
