Hi, I was chasing a problem where configure-scripts under IRIX 6.5 with the SGI Mipspro v7.30 C++ compiler refused to link against X11 unless the user applied some magic by setting environment variables etc. I believe I found the root of the problem within _AC_PATH_X_DIRECT, where the first X11 linkcheck fails due to a missing #include-statement in the testcode. (Rather amazing that this nasty bug has survived for so long -- it has at least been present for > 6 months, probably even longer.) Patch against current CVS head branch attached below. (Note: the patch hasn't been tested, as I'm running an older Autoconf at the moment, due to the mismatch with the current CVS Automake.) Mon May 29 15:35:51 2000 Morten Eriksen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * acspecific.m4: Fix the first X11 linktest in _AC_PATH_X_DIRECT to actually have a chance of succeeding. Also killed an unnecessary shell variable.
