I have an application that depends on gtkhtml-2.0, which seems to be in a diferent location in almost every linux or BSD distribution. Currently I have:- INCLUDES = -I/usr/include/gtkhtml-2.0 in Makefile.am and AC_CHECK_LIB([gtkhtml-2], [html_document_open_stream],, [AC_MSG_ERROR([BUMMER, Maybe if you install libgtkhtml-2 & libgtkhtml-2-dev this pig will fly])]) in configure.ac, which works on my system but I need to replace it with a portable construct to tell autoconf/make etc. to find it and feed its location into the final Makefile. I have searched through autoconf and automake.pdf's but if I saw what I need I didn't recognise it. please help /]/]ik _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
