Ok Lely:
I think I'm almost there. Now what ??
here is code section from configure what should I change ??
Exactely ???
echo $ac_n "checking for newtInit in -lnewt""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:1010: checking for newtInit in -lnewt" >&5
ac_lib_var=`echo newt'_'newtInit | sed 'y%./+-%__p_%'`
if eval "test \"`echo '$''{'ac_cv_lib_$ac_lib_var'+set}'`\" = set"; then
echo $ac_n "(cached) $ac_c" 1>&6
else
ac_save_LIBS="$LIBS"
LIBS="-lnewt -lslang-utf8 -lm $LIBS"
cat > conftest.$ac_ext <<EOF
#line 1018 "configure"
