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.

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.

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?
