Problem make-install'ing MonetDB to $HOME/opt/monetdb

I'm trying to upgrade to the latest release of MonetDB (Jul2015-SP4) instead of an older one. I'm building and installing as a non-root user, into $HOME/opt/monetdb . Well, * ./bootstrap SUCCEEDED * ./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/monetdb SUCCEEDED * ./make SUCCEEDED * ./make install FAILED Here's the error message: /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 mapi.h /home/eyalroz/opt/monetdb/include/monetdb/mapi.h /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c libmapi.la '/home/eyalroz/opt/monetdb/lib' libtool: install: error: cannot install `libmapi.la' to a directory not ending in /usr/local/lib I don't see why libtool is telling me that. What business is it of libtool what I want to call my directories? Anyway, it doesn't seem to me I tried to do something esoteric... how do you suggest I get around this? Eyal PS - It's a Fedora 22 machine in case that matters.

Works fine for me (on virtually identical Fedore 22 machine). Well, I am sure I build from clean scratch with any non-minor code update, and I always use a build-directory that is different from the source directory. Stefan ----- On May 2, 2016, at 10:36 AM, Eyal Rozenberg E.Rozenberg@cwi.nl wrote:

Problem solved - apparently reconfiguring with just a --prefix change is not enough to install to a different directory, even though ./configure does not complain about anything. Running "make clean", rebuilding and make install'ing works. Thanks Stefan.
