I built and installed libunistring this evening, to /usr/local, and now ./configure is failing for me at:
checking size of float... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (float) which is because (from config.log): configure:52553: ccache gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -L/usr/local/lib -lunistring -R/usr/local/lib -lgmp -lcrypt -lm -lltdl >&5 gcc: unrecognized option '-R/usr/local/lib' My GCC is version 4.3.2, so pretty recent. Ludo, Andy, I'm wondering why this isn't a problem for you too. Is it because you've installed libunistring in /usr, perhaps? Regards, Neil
