But isn't one of the tasks of ./configure to test that it can find the libs it needs, and isn't this the real problem? Is it not the case that ./configure has run ok, presumably believing that it has found the libs it needs, but then generated a makefile that fails because it can't find them? That was what I thought the problem was. Using non-standard configurations is far from forbidden on linux; that's why there are options (parameters) to override normal defaults, but ./configure should be checking for consistency and failing when it finds inconsistency, not giving the appearance that all is well.
