Peculiar configure behavior

[edscott]

When all else fails, read the instructions:

"If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or [don't use libtool]"

The automated make process uses libtool, so if we follow instructions,
do some cut and paste and replace -lxfcegui4 with
-l${prefix}/lib/libxfcegui4.so, everything is marvelous:

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2   -o xfrun4  xfrun4-xfrun.o
-Wl,-R/var/xfce/lib -L/var/xfce/lib -lxfce4util -lglib-2.0
-Wl,-R/var/xfce/lib -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/usr/X11R6/lib
-L/var/xfce/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/var/xfce/lib
/var/xfce/lib/libxfcegui4.so -lgtk-x11-2.0  -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0
-lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0
-lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 -Wl,-R/usr/lib -ldbh -lm  

which produces --> 
 
gcc -g -O2 -o xfrun4 xfrun4-xfrun.o -Wl,-R/var/xfce/lib
-Wl,-R/var/xfce/lib -Wl,--export-dynamic -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/var/xfce/lib
/var/xfce/lib/libxfcegui4.so -Wl,-R/usr/lib  -L/var/xfce/lib
/var/xfce/lib/libxfce4util.so -L/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libatk-1.0.so /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so /usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.so
/usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so -ldl /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libdbh.so -lm -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/var/xfce/lib -Wl,--rpath
-Wl,/var/xfce/lib

So unless I am mistaken, there is no fix possible (Benny knows more
about this than I do), except updating libxfce4util to the latest
version. 

Why does this only happen to xfcalendar, xfrun4 and xffm? That's a good
question to ask libtool.
