After trying so many options related to libraries I am exhausted. I have a simple program that needs to link with a shared library installed in /usr/local/lib.
When using my own simple Makefile and simply adding "-lproject -lm" everything works fine (libproject is the shared library). But regardless of how many tests, etc., I do in the .ac and .am files I cannot get the final Makefile to link with "project." There must be a simple solution to this rediculously simple operation but the *^%(*% manuals are forever enamored with the complex examples and give short time to the dumb oxes as myself. Also, whenever I put tests for the existance of the library entries in configure.ac output of ./configure always shows that they are not detected. Any assistance would be *greatly* appreciated, thank-you. -- The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum. -- Havelock Ellis (1859-1939) British psychologist
