libtool error : static compiling gtkmm-2.0.2

["Vishal Modak" <whizvish80 rediffmail com>]

hi!!!

I am trying to compile static libraries for gtkmm-2.0.2..

I have the following ackages..
gtk-2.0.9,
glib-2.0.7,
atk-1.0.4,
pango-1.0.4
libsigc++-1.2

I have succesfully created the static libraries for the above 
packages

for gtkmm-2.0.2..i did this

=> configure --enable-static............(no problems)

=> make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/newtools/gtkmm-2.0.2'

make[2]: Entering directory `/root/newtools/gtkmm-2.0.2/tools'

===================================================================

i dont understand this..the .la file is in usr/local/lib..why is 
it searching in /root/test/

however i did compile atk-1.0.3 using the --prefix=$HOME/test..but 
after
that i deleted the test directory

created a fresh untar from atk-1.0.3.tar.gz...this time i did not 
give the prefix..
created a fresh untar from gtkmm-2.0.2.tar.gz
when i give `make` in gtkmm-2.0.2..it still give me this error

somehow or the other the prefix is still stored in some 
variable..and my gtkmm-2.0.2 is using that to search for atk .la 
file....

can u tell me how can i get around this..

is there any other way to do..than this,,

hoping to hear from u soon
