You have two options: - Have the depended-on package supply a shell script that prints configuration values on stdout. You may want to take a look at the pkg-config package[1]. You might also provide "tests" for inclusion in other packages as below. - Rerun the tests, and include tests that find the depended-on package. You should ship the tests as a set of .m4 files with the main package and install them into $(datadir)/aclocal. A very important point is that you should provide a way for the packages to have different prefixes, as the base package may be installed by the system administrator into a non-writable directory, while a user wants to install a plugin.
