That should read "libtool 1.3 refuses to link shared libraries against
other *uninstalled* shared libraries".

ie libtool 1.3 will only allow it if both libraries are installed.

libtool 1.4 will fix this serious limitation. At least, it is serious
for packages like Kerberos (both implementations), which come with
many libraries that must (read: should) link to each other in the same
source structure.

However, AFAIK, this has nothing to do with -rpath??????
