Hi, I have got a development system with library x, version 0, installed under /usr/lib, and library x, version 2 installed somewhere locally, added to the library path via LD_LIBRARY_PATH. On this development setup, I run a standard AC_CHECK_LIB test: AC_CHECK_LIB(x, symbol_only_in_version_2,, [ AC_MSG_ERROR(need lib x, version 2.) ]) This check fails (unresolved symbol), obviously (?) as "-L/usr/lib" is listed _before_ the libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running collect internally: (...) GNU assembler version 2.14.90.0.7 (i386-linux) using BFD version 2.14.90.0.7 20031029 Debian GNU/Linux /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.4/collect2 (...) -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -Lmy_local_path/.libs (...) (...) The check works fine when I remove the old library from /usr/lib. Afaik, LD_LIBRARY_PATHs, if set, should have precedence over standard paths. So, is this a bug in the AC_CHECK_LIB macro, or do I have to configure something differently? Could not find any hint in the archives...
