2001-06-04 Thread Steve M. Robbins
Hi, When I use AC_CHECK_LIB(foo,bla), it will fail utterly if libfoo is linked to libbar and I neglected to put -lbar in the 5th argument of AC_CHECK_LIB. This may be just what you want. On the other hand, I get the impression that every time I turn around X11R6 has split out another two or
