I am using prefix=/usr and DESTDIR=/opr/root because I don't want my 
binaries to have /opt/root dependancy.  I tried deleting the .la after 
every install. This does not help. It still looks at /usr/lib directory 
but I need it to look at the dir where I installed the libraries 
(/opt/root/usr/lib).
