I now changed it to: C_PATH_PROGS([TOOL_XML2_CONFIG], [xml2-config]) AS_IF([test -n "$TOOL_XML2_CONFIG"], [XML2_CFLAGS=`$TOOL_XML2_CONFIG --cflags` XML2_LIBS=`$TOOL_XML2_CONFIG --libs`], [AC_MSG_ERROR([missing program 'xml2-config'; is 'libxml2' or 'libxml2-devel' installed?])]) AC_SUBST([XML2_CFLAGS]) AC_SUBST([XML2_LIBS]) Just what luke@xxxxxxxxxxx posted earlier! It works pretty well, i just add to change it a little: AC_PATH_PROGS([TOOL_XML2_CONFIG], [xml2-config]) AS_IF([test -n "$TOOL_XML2_CONFIG"], [XML2_CFLAGS=`$TOOL_XML2_CONFIG --cflags` XML2_LIBS=`$TOOL_XML2_CONFIG --libs` LIBXML_VERSION=`$TOOL_XML2_CONFIG --version`], [AC_MSG_ERROR([missing program 'xml2-config'; is 'libxml2' or 'libxml2-devel' installed?])]) AC_SUBST([XML2_CFLAGS]) AC_SUBST([XML2_LIBS]) AC_CHECK_LIB([xml2],[xmlTextReaderGetAttribute]) CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $XML2_CFLAGS" Thanks very much guys - -Phil -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknmE8UACgkQAhcOgIaQQ2FIGwCeMn6fJ9sQTMVBIaQaLpWHCg1+ KEAAoJCKeF/fFPZY2IH5gQ30wKF6BV97 =xsHa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
