m17n, otf0 and configuring on Kubuntu

[Angelo Graziosi <angelo.graziosi@alice.it>]

I have observed that on GNU/Linux Kubuntu 7.10 the result of

${src_dir}/configure --enable-font-backend

is

[...]
checking for libotf... no
checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for m17n-flt... no
[...]
Does Emacs use -lm17n-flt?                              no
Does Emacs use -lotf?                                   no


So I have installed (between 23401 packages):

libm17n-0, libm17n-dev
libotf0, libotf-dev
+dep.

which is the best I found.

But the result is the same: no, no...

Could it be caused by the fact that on Kubuntu I find libm17n and not 
libm17n-flt?

Are libm17n and libm17n-flt truly different? or is that only a different 
name convention?

And what for libotf? After installing the packages in /usr/lib I have 
libotf.so --> libotf.so.0.0.0!

(From configure.in it seems that the usage of m17n and otf is on by 
default, so that one should not use --with-...)

What am I missing?


Thanks,
