I downloaded and installed the libxls library. Unfortunately it installs by default into $(prefix)/libxls
This means the only way to configure it is like this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/libxls/lib/ LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/libxls/lib
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/libxls/include ./configure
I don't know what the best way to work around this problem. I wish project
maintainers wouldn't do
things like this.

Michel, here's a patch for configure.ac that I believe should
allow the configuration process to automatically detect
libxlsreader and link against it if it is found:
