[GnomeMeeting-list] BETA2 - autoconf problem with pwlib detection

["David Corking" <lists dcorking com>]

I am compiling Ekiga BETA 2 (1.99.1 on SuSE 9.3) I downloaded and
successfully compiled the pwlib and opal tarballs that come in the
BETA 2 distribution.

What does this output mean?

checking for PWLib includes in /home/dcorking/pwlib/include/...
checking for /home/dcorking/pwlib/include/ptlib/pprocess.h... yes
checking for read in -lpt... no
configure: error: You need the PWLib library to compile Ekiga
>

config.log says:
configure:21867: g++ -o conftest -g -O2   -L/home/dcorking/pwlib/lib/
conftest.cc -lpt   >&5
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.5/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld:
cannot find -lpt

I have pasted a bigger chunk from config.log below.

Please be gentle - I am new to compiling against pwlib, and fairly new
to debugging autoconf output.

Best, David
