I added /usr/local/lib/to /etc/ld.so.conf and ran "sudo > ldconfig -v" and verified that it saw my library (I've also rebooted). ld.so.conf is only for the runtime linker (ld.so), not for the link editor (ld). > Also, if I type gcc -lmylib1 it sees it (gcc -lblahblahlibrary gives an > error about blahblahlibrary not found, and that's not what gcc -lmylib1 > errors with). Hmm. This is weird. Again, the error in config.log will tell you more. (Post the section if you need help with it.) > Basically, mylib2's configure.ac is pretty straightforward with: > > AC_CHEC_LIB(mylib2, main, , AC_MSG_ERROR(mylib2 required)) This line is missing quoting. It should at least be AC_CHEC_LIB(mylib2, main, , [AC_MSG_ERROR(mylib2 required)]) but preferably you should write AC_CHEC_LIB([mylib2], [main], [], [AC_MSG_ERROR([mylib2 required])]) for consistency.
