more about FC_5.

Hi dee Ho again!

Thank's to Ian's patch, I managed to compile comedi drivers for my
FC_5 kernel. Also comedilib seemed to compile without problems. (Or of
course there were problems, but those were not caused by the
software... :p )

Then I tried to ran my measurement program I did earlier.. Well, of
course it failed, since I did not notice the kcomedilib was a module
to load too... Anyways, after lots of error, and even more trial, I
managed to run the program... Except calibration. I found out the
calibration is now it's own module, and got it from CVS repository.
However autogen.sh for comedi_calibrate fails. I get following erreor:

checking for comedi_open in -lcomedi... no
configure: error: Failed to find libcomedi.

so looks like AC_CHECK_LIB fails. Any advieces? (I be the solution is
something simple, but my Linux experience just is not strong enough :)
)

Oh, just to give some more info, I (even though I did not have
slightest idea what would be the correct solution) did try to add
comedilib installation directory ( seems to be /usr/local/lib ) to the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (actually, I had to do that before the measuring
program I did earlier decided to compile) and when it did not help I
added it into $path, and finally created symbolic link in /usr/lib to
each file in /usr/local/lib... No avail. I also tried to look for
suitable args to give to autogen, but I did not find the correct
one...

Errmmm.. Sorry for writing this kind of a novel, but it's the night
and extra amount of coffee... (See? I do always have my excuses
prepared).

Anyways, any ideas anyone?
