Because you don't output any result to your own check. AC_MSG_CHECKING doesn't output a newline at the end. So what you see is the next check. One would usually use the macros like that: AC_MSG_CHECKING([for foo]) test ... ; then AC_MSG_RESULT([yes]) else AC_MSG_RESULT([no]) fi Regards, Daniel _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
