Either that, or it wasn't looking in /usr/lib64

I don't know much about the innards of libtool, but in case it helps 
here is what file returns:

ellson at ontap:~> file /usr/lib64/xmms/Input/*

and if it was looking in the wrong place it would return:

ellson at ontap:~> file /usr/lib/xmms/Input/*
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/*: ERROR: cannot open `/usr/lib/xmms/Input/*' (No 
such file or directory)
