Hi

On one of my systems, I have the problem that not all libraries are
detected. (I once told David). It might be a problem with my system,
but I need a hint how I can debug this further.

configure gives me for the library section:
creating libtool
checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include
checking for sqrt in -lm... yes
checking for gettext in -lintl... yes
checking for gethostbyaddr in -lnsl... no
checking for socket in -lsocket... no
checking for main in -lXext... no
checking for main in -lX11... yes
checking for main in -lXpm... yes
checking for main in -lglib... yes
checking for main in -lgdk... no
checking for gtk_check_button_new in -lgtk... no
checking for libgimp/gimp.h... no
checking for dlfcn.h... yes
checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes
checking for dlopen... yes

These 'missing' libs (Xext and gtk) are there and have no visible
differences in permissions and ownership.

Any idea what to check next? What does configure actually do? Looking
into 'configure' is rather confusing since it was built automatically
and does not help (me) much.

I suspect my versions of ld.so and maybe libc to cause this problem:
odiug@darkstar sane-0.6 $ rpm -q ld.so
ld.so-1.9.2-1
odiug@darkstar sane-0.6 $ rpm -q libc
libc-5.4.23-3

It would be helpful if someone could explain to me how configure
checks for libraries. Maybe I can reproduce this problem then.

Ciao
Guido
