[ELGIS] Dependencies on *.la files

[Micha Silver]

I'd like to try to build rpms for spatialite on EL 6.0. The software 
requires geos and proj, and the source tarball requires those libtool 
files *.la. Specificly libgeos_c.la and libproj.la. When I try to run 
make, it errors at:


Making all in headers

According to the Fedora packaging guidelines  these files are no longer 
produced. What's the best/recommended way to work around this ?

Thanks,

Micha
