you mean "why hasnt it been done yet?". i imagine they're focusing on the lower pieces first before they start picking the higher fruit. obviously a AC_CHECK_LIB is really just a special case for linking a C file against some library. and autoconf already has turned the basic compile/link steps into functions. i'd say the obvious answer is "help out", but not much point with you. -mike
