  A temporary work around is to create symbolic links to the existing
  libraries for which the make file is looking.  Note that this will
  have to be done for both 'libqgis_core.so' and 'libqgis_gui.so', as
  so:

mcoletti at mcolettib886:~/projects/qgis> ln -s ~/lib/libqgis_core.so src/core/libqgis_core.so
mcoletti at mcolettib886:~/projects/qgis> ln -s ~/lib/libqgis_gui.so src/gui/libqgis_gui.so


  I suspect that the problem cause is because I want to install qgis
  and the python bindings in my home directory.  That is, some CMake
  settings might presume that global bindings and '/usr/local' as the
  default prefix.  I admit this is just a guess.  Maybe someone else
  can try to build and install everything into their home directory to
  possibly reproduce my errors?



Cheers,
