I'm having a related problem: ImageMagick 5.1 comes with libtool 1.3.4,
which manages to generate things like:

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc  -O -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -o combine  combine.o magick/libMagick.la  -ljbig -ltiff -lttf -ljpeg -lpng -lXext -lXt -lX11 -lbz2 -lz -lm
mkdir .libs
gcc -O -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -o .libs/combine combine.o magick/.libs/libMagick.so -ljbig -ltiff -lttf -ljpeg -lpng -lXext -lXt -lX11 -lbz2 -lz -lm -ljbig -ltiff -lttf -ljpeg -lpng -lXext -lXt -lX11 -lbz2 -lz -lm -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib

% combine
Cannot open "magick/.libs/libMagick.so"

It would seem that libtool should have generated something of the form
  -Lmagick/.libs -lMagick
or should the rtld have dropped the magick/.libs/ bit? Am I missing
something? (This is on NetBSD/i386-current ie., elf)

Cheers,
