Someone change libEQ search

[Yendor]

I'd do this, but am lazy (and working on something else).

In configure.in need to change the libEQ search from
AC_CHECK_LIB(EQ, ProcessPacket,
to
AC_CHECK_LIB(EQ, InitializeLibEQ,

Plus some extra text when it fails to suggest the problem.
That should prevent it from trying to build against old libEQ.a versions.

I don't have time to test it out and post a patch at the moment. But maybe this is enough to get someone else to do it :).

:p :p :p

Maybe I will do it later if no one else submits a patch.

Good idea Yendor. Any volunteers??? (I'm also kinda preoccupied with other stuff).

Enjoy,

i have changed it, and made the error mesage a little more helpful in the event they have the wrong lib installed.

checking for InitializeLibEQ in -lEQ... no
configure: error: libEQ.a not found or out of date. Be sure libEQ.a is already installed in /usr/local/lib or /usr/lib

# md5sum /usr/lib/libEQ.a
4e9d9772132fc63ea8860cc2fdb2905d /usr/lib/libEQ.a
# md5sum /usr/local/lib/libEQ.a
4e9d9772132fc63ea8860cc2fdb2905d /usr/local/lib/libEQ.a

already a new libeq again or did this patch nothing good at all?

[Hoihoi]

sigh, double post (

[KennySP]

Is libEQ.a a+x ?

$ chmod a+x /usr/lib/libEQ.a
$ chmod a+x /usr/local/lib/libEQ.a

post the last 20 lines or so from config.log, that'll help determine what he problem may be.

are CC and CXX set so you are using g++ 3 ?

i tested the confgure script to still work, and just re-did so. having the lines from your log will help.

[Hoihoi]

no it wasn't but that shouldn't have mattered because i've been successful compiling till todays update. anyway, changed it to 0777 just in case and it didn't work either

[casey]

can you post the last 20-30 lines of config.log?

hoihoi, i had some other people in irc test configure, and its working for them

is it possible that your lib search path is encountering an old libEQ before a current one?

find / -name libEQ.a -print

i suggest running that, and then deleting all the libEQ.a's you find, and maintaining a single copy in /usr/lib
