have you tried running ldd on the built binaries to see where they are looking?
i'd say that they are looking first in a place where an old version is already installed. maybe you built the old version previously in an overlaying library search path.
This is a problem that you never encounter when you just install them directly to the root. Unless you are producing a binary distribution package you should never need to do this - and even if you are, most methods of doing this (apart from slack, which is simple tar archives) have means of pulling a package together from its live installed location... well, gentoo does anyway (qpkg) i have a few gripes with gentoo's ways but by and large it is better than anything else out there for ease of software management.

dear list,
i first installed libevent 1.1a using: ./configure --prefix=/thisdir make sudo make install
no errors occured.
i then installed tor using:
./configure --includedir=/thisdir/include --libdir=/thisdir/lib make sudo make install
no errors occured.
then when executing tor it complains that i am using an old version of libevent and tor will be buggy.
I think the problem is that I have never really understood how to compile source packages with certain libraries/includes that are not in standard paths.
apologies for such a newbie question.
poncenby
