It shows `--libdir=' so I tried using that to point to /opt/csw/lib:/opt/csw/lib/amd64/ Where things like: libungif.so libgif.so.4.1.7 libgif.so and several more like those, but not working out like I hoped. My ./configure line: PATH=$PATH ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/src/vcs/git/test --with-x=yes --with-gif=yes --libdir=/opt/csw/lib:/opt/csw/lib/amd64 --with-imagemagick=yes --with-x-toolkit=athena (the PATH= stuff was there to cure a problem where ./configure was finding the wrong (old) verion of makeinfo... the PATH variable seemed to head it the right way /opt/csw/bin/) So with that ./configure line, it ends with: ,---- | [...] | configure: error: The following required libraries were not found: | libgif/libungif | Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing? | If you don't want to link with them give | --with-gif=no | as options to configure `---- Having emacs built with gif or not is really small potatoes, my query is more to for once and for all... learn how to tell ./configure some kinds of things.
