checking an environment variable

Hi

in configure.ac I wrote this check

if test -z "${BASH_COMPLETION_DIR}"; then
        echo "you're not using bash_completion."
else
        echo "Good: you're using bash_completion! dir: $BASH_COMPLETION_DIR"
fi

although this environment variable is set to a path, the configure script never detects it and test -z always returns true... am I doing something wrong?

thanks in advance
        Lorenzo
