Seems like a bug to >me. Hmm, autoconf's AC_CHECK_LIB([NAME], [FUNC], [...]) provides the feature what you want, I guess. It would not search the pathname of libNAME, but it would execute ${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} conftest.c -lNAME conftest.c refers FUNC. Do you think you found the bug of autoconf? _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
