Newb Q: Checking for libs in non-standard directories

[Justin Todd]

Let's say I have a library in:

**     /usr/local/lib/someapp

Now examine the line in my configure.in:

**    AC_CHECK_LIB([someapp],[somefunc])

When configure attempts to find somefunc in someapp, it is unable to because
libsomeapp exists in a non-standard library directory. If I move libsomeapp
to /lib, then all's good.

Is it possible for configure to check for a library in a non-standard
directory?



Thanks in advance,
