No.  Thanks - that fixed it.  I have no LIBRARY_PATH in my
environment, but doing
make install
in pwlib had the same effect.

To find the header files configure still needed
--with-pwlib-dir=/home/dcorking/pwlib

Then I needed
dcorking seahouses:~/pwlib> mkdir bin
dcorking seahouses:~/pwlib> cd bin
dcorking seahouses:~/pwlib/bin> ln -sv ../make/ptlib-config

Did anyone else need that?  It seems that
(cd /usr/local/bin; rm -f ptlib-config ; ln -snf
../share/pwlib/make/ptlib-config ptlib-config)
in the pwlib install target failed to do its job.

Now I find other dependencies that are not listed in INSTALL.  
configure does not seem to respond to the options
--without-avahi-glib --without-avahi-client
so I am compiling those as I write, even though I don't need
autodiscovery afaik.  I seem to have an incomplete pkg-config database
so it is an uphill struggle.  Is avahi mandatory?

However I am on the right track.  Thanks again.
