Hello,

I have been trying to include a test in a configure.in
so that, if libcurl isn't detected, the script fails with
an error message.

I have tried doing:

AC_CHECK_LIB(curl, curl_version, libcurl=yes, libcurl=no)
if test "x$libcurl" = xno ; then
        AC_MSG_ERROR("libcurl required..go to http://curl.haxx.se/ to
download and then install it first")
fi
LIBS="-lcurl $LIBS"

and

LIBS="-lcurl $LIBS"
AC_MSG_CHECKING(for libcurl)
AC_TRY_LINK([#include <curl/curl.h>], [curl_version();], libcurl=yes,
libcurl=no)
if test "x$libcurl" = xno ; then
        AC_MSG_ERROR("libcurl required..go to http://curl.haxx.se/ to
download and then install it first")
fi

But they both fail even though libcurl is installed in /usr/local/lib
and I can link programs to it without a problem.

The truth is I know next to nothing about autoconf and I don't
know what else to try.

Any suggestions?

Andres
