Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2003-04-07 10:17:01 EDT

Our policy is never to include .la files, and they are never
needed. They simply duplicate information that is included 
in the shared library itself on linux, and lead to all
sorts of problems.

What happened is that you compiled some other library yourself
that dependended on libglade's .la files, and that .la file 
got a hard-coded reference to the .la file that was removed. 
Once you fix that problem (grep libglade /usr/lib/*.la) things
will be fine.
