Hey Bob, very weird, but thanks for testing.
Please give us some more information so we can have a look into it: - Your distro (archlinux?), - your ncurses version, - the path to the panel.h file on your system Normally the new ax_with_curses_extra.m4 should find panel.h in the following locations: /usr/include/ncursesw/panel.h /usr/include/panel.h /usr/include/ncurses/panel.h I wonder that it stops just after the first test. Maybe your ystem has autoconf-archive installed and configure uses an older version of the m4 file from that package? The macros in TLF are picked up from the 2016.03.20 version of the autoconf-archive. 73, Tom Am Thu, 26 Jan 2017 08:29:07 -0700 schrieb w9ya <w...@qrparci.net>: > Hey Tom and the gang; > > Um...that didn't do it: > > " > checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config > checking pkg-config is at least version 0.16... yes > checking for pkg-config...
