Re: [libextractor] No rule to make target `../../src/main/libextractor.la', needed by `extract'. Stop

[Christian Grothoff]

Dear Jerry,

I don't know how or why this would happen --- as far as I can see, the library 
is compiled first (there is a line with -o libextractor_la-extractor.lo 
options, which is similar to what libtool does on my system), and it happens 
(as expected) before compiling the binary that needs it.

My best suggestion would be for you to check that you're using libtool 2.2 
and, if that doesn't help, report this *with* OS and version numbers of 
automake, autoconf and libtool to our bugtracker.  As it is, I cannot 
reproduce this issue.

Best,

Christian
