[gnutls-dev]AM_PATH_LIBGNUTLS_EXTRA

[Ivo Timmermans]

Oi,

When using the AM_PATH_LIBGNUTLS_EXTRA macro in configure.in, autoconf
tries to compile a piece of code that references
LIBGNUTLS_EXTRA_VERSION.  However, that symbol isn't defined anywhere,
so the check always fails, leading configure to believe gnutls-extra
isn't available.

This call:

        AM_PATH_LIBGNUTLS_EXTRA(0.1.0)

results in:

        checking for libgnutls-extra-config... /usr/bin/libgnutls-extra-config
        checking for libgnutls - version >= 0.1.0... no
        *** Could not run libgnutls test program, checking why...
        *** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
        *** that the run-time linker is not finding LIBGNUTLS_EXTRA or finding 
the wrong
        *** version of LIBGNUTLS_EXTRA. If it is not finding LIBGNUTLS_EXTRA, 
you'll need to set your
        *** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to 
point
        *** to the installed location  Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if 
that
        *** is required on your system
        ***
        *** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, 
although
        *** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        ***

config.log contains:
