For -lsocket, I use the recommendation from http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2002-10/msg00085.html namely, AC_SEARCH_LIBS(gethostbyname, nsl) AC_SEARCH_LIBS(socket, socket, , [AC_CHECK_LIB(nsl, socket, LIBS="$LIBS -lsocket -lnsl", , -lsocket)]) For threads, it helps to use or at least look at ACX_PTHREAD from the GNU Autoconf Macro Archive at http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/htmldoc/acx_pthread.html Now, in view of Steve Huston's reply, I'll be looking into the ACE kit as well.
