emacs compiled with --with-ns doesn't find installed libraries

[Dan Maftei]

I compile GNU emacs 24.1.1 for X and it finds most of my installed image libraries (png, gif, jpeg), at /usr/local.

If I compile with --with-ns, it does not find any of them. However, I can nevertheless view, e.g., .png files in emacs.app. Should I be worried that the configure script says it couldn't find these libraries?

If it matters, all the libraries I've mentioned were installed using homebrew, and thus all headers and lib files and executables are symlinks to /usr/local/Cellar/<library-name>

Another oddity is that neither configure script finds my dbus installation, which is at /usr/local like all my image libraries. When I was using macports, dbus was found. Has anyone experienced this, or know how I can get the configure script to locate dbus?

Thanks
