Actually, unless you know of a definite header that's present in /usr/local/include, I wouldn't know how to find this out portably. Why not add it by default, or even better, just let the user add it: ./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include if it is needed on her system? > and if not, how to add it to some CFLAGS variable? CFLAGS wouldn't be right, because -I is a preprocessor variable. > I tried slamming it into AM_CPPFLAGS, but this didn't get me anything. Well if you need the flag at configure time, add it to CPPFLAGS, either by the user as above, or by you in configure.ac. But I would reserve this to the user; she might have a broken version of the headers you're looking for there. > - > This message is intended only for the addressee and may contain > information that is company confidential or privileged. Any [...] Such message footers are frowned upon on public lists, and easily avoided by using non-work email accounts if need be. Cheers, Ralf
