Hi Gustaf, Gustaf Barkstrom <gusb8@xxxxxxxx> writes: > (therein lies probably the crux of my problem, "I don't know how to > pass headers to the configure script") You need to tell cpp and ld where to find the headers and libs by defining environment variables: export CPPFLAGS='-I /path/to/blah/include' export LDFLAGS='-L /path/to/blah/lib' before running ./configure Note that this is only neccessary for legacy libs which do not provide M4 macros or *-config scripts. ciao, --mitch
