Question re: remember to run `libtool --finish ...`
Hi.

I port/package software for AIX and often get this message during "make install"
libtool: install: warning: remember to run `libtool --finish /some/directory`

I have run the command manually, and not run it. I am unable to see what difference it is making.

Questions:
  1. What is the purpose?
  2. What is it looking for/What did it (libtool) see that it sends this warning for everything (e.g., httpd shared modules) it installs?
Note: using GNU install script, not AIX built-in.

Man Page for libtool (all Section 1) - The UNIX and Linux Forums Maybe it does some sort of strip or chmod?

Description of finish mode:

Complete the installation of libtool libraries.

Each LIBDIR is a directory that contains libtool libraries.

The commands that this mode executes may require superuser privileges.
Use the `--dry-run' option if you just want to see what would be exe-
cuted.
