[vorbis-dev] problem building vorbis-tools-1.0rc3

thanks for the quick response;
You where correct, I did have an old version installed, My slackware
distro had that package installed I didn't realize it.  I removed the
the package, but libtools is still looking for the old ones and I can't
get it to look for the new libraries

things I've tried:

I ran these commands after removing the package
ldconfig (as root)
make clean
rm config.cache
configure
make

I also tried running configure with these arguements

./configure --with-vorbis-libraries=/usr/local/lib
--with-ogg-libraries=/usr/local/lib --with-ogg=/usr/local/lib
--with-vorbis=/usr/local/lib --with-ao=/usr/local/lib
--with-ao-libraries=/usr/local/lib

I even tried to start from scratch
rm -rf vorbis_tools-1.0rc3
tar -xzf vorbis-tools-1.0rc3.tar.gz
cd vorbis_tools-1.0rc3
configure --with-vorbis-libraries=/usr/local/lib
--with-ogg-libraries=/usr/local/lib --with-ogg=/usr/local/lib
--with-vorbis=/usr/local/lib --with-ao=/usr/local/lib
--with-ao-libraries=/usr/local/lib
make

<p>heres the error message from make

<p>I'm don't know what else to do in order to get libtool to "forget"
/usr/lib and start looking in /usr/local/lib
I'm guessing libtool caches this information somewhere ? or is coded
into the build scripts ?

orry I don't know that much about libtool
occasionally I try at moments like these to learn more about gnu build
tools and every time I gain little more understanding, but for the most
part it just hurts my head ;)  Is there perhaps a good book out there on
this subject somewhere. like "learn autogen to configure to make in just
six months" :)
