I don't see any reason whatsoever that configure should be trying to detect that library. If you're going to build it, then you /know/ that it'll be around for whatever else depends on it in your package. The "make" failures is a separate issue. You need to make sure that the library is a dependancy of whatever relies upon it, so that it will be around to resolve references. -- Micah J.
