Hi, This moves the check to the toplevel Makefile.in and also checks LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This will still complain if you do configure --prefix=/usr/ because of the leading / :/ So I tried a different version using 'ldd', also attached. Choose whatever you like best ;) Ciao, Marcus License: LGPL Changelog: Warn the user if 'wine' will not find its libraries after installation on 'make install'.
