can you provide the config.log of the project in question (best gzip it before 
attaching, because config.log is often quite long)? So one can see what the 
configure-time part of libtool thinks is going on.

what probably went wrong is the dection of the compile-time system search path 
for libraries, which you can override by setting the LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH 
configure argument to the directories you want searched instead of /lib.
