I have a SuSE (6.2, 6.3 or 6.4, I can't remember) and I think it is
the default place since I didn't recompiled libtool.

Since I thought that I didn't have libtool, I have downloaded it,
compiled and installed. It has ended in /usr/local/bin. I have types
"rehash" and relaunched configure and got the same error. Then, I have
checked the script and make a symlink to help him find it.
If I remove the symlink, I get :

OK, but for a end user, it is useful ? Or in other words, is it useful
just for certain programs (databases ?) which will then explicitely
use it (and so, there is no advantage to use dmapi without one of
these programs) ?
