you search for that, you install, you go again

If you receive all that messages togheter you will install all that
software at once.
I agree it is tiresome not to get all those error messages at once, and
therefore I always try to write my configure.ac so configure doesn't
exit when a package is missing but just collect that information and
keep on searching for the other packages. And then in the end (just
before AC_OUTPUT) I print out the missing packages and exit. There is
nothing in current Autoconf that prevents you from doing so and if you
use third-party macros that AC_MSG_ERROR on failure, you should really
ask the maintainer of that macro to provide a MACRO([ACTION-IF-FOUND],
[ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]) interface.
Cheers,
Peter
