The patch is not solving the problem at all. What it does is changing the linking order in the wrong way (look at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/asneeded.xml for the right ordering of parameters). Also it touches configure, that should never be done, you should patch configure.in or configure.ac depending on what the package is using.

This patch only helps with a small problem with a test in the configure script, everything else works fine. But I will look into what you said and try to come up with a better patch when I find some time. Thanks for the input.

I have been looking into this (with open eyes now :-)) ) and I can see that you are of course completely right. Hopefully, I got it right this time. Again, thanks for the input, it helped me learn a great deal about autoconf.

Diego: can you take a look at this again and let me know if it's proper? Sascha: please send this upstream as well.

added to CVS some time ago
(In reply to comment #13) > added to CVS some time ago Upstream, yes, in version 0.15.2. But neither the fix nor this version are in Gentoo portage yet.
Now it's done (version 0.15.3).
