I agree that it must be in the install scripts. At the end of 'make',
libsaml.so.4.0.0 is present in .libs, with its symlinks. After 'make install',
it seems that the file has been moved, rather than copied, into 
shibboleth/lib,
and then it complains when it no longer can find the target of the symlinks.

I still couldn't get make or make install in the test directory after copying
libsaml.so.4.0.0 back. It can't find saml.h, because it's been moved (not
copied) into shibboleth/include/saml. But I'm not too concerned at this point,
because it seems that things installed ok.

Thanks,
Rob
