Ah, but referring to autoconf's manual: "This (AC_HAVE_LIB) macro is
considered obsolete." ;)

Hmm, I suspect that your ~/.ecasoundrc was created by some older
ecasound version (it's not part of the distribution). Just delete
it and ecasound will create a new one the next time you use it (with
up-to-date defaults). I've tried to avoid changes to ecasoundrc fields
to prevent this kind of confusion, but /etc/ecasound ->
/usr/local/share/ecasound was unavoidable.

Well, no particular reason. I use ecasound as a root myself and, well,
that's pretty much it. Hmm, what's causing problems?

No, actually AC_PATH_QT_2 (this is a rather recent addition) makes
AC_CHECK_LIB unnecessary. Makefiles use environment variables set by
AC_PATH_QT_2 directly ($all_libraries, $all_headers).

Yes, I guess you're right. If I had a 24h net connection, I would have
probably already done it. My current a 14.4k modem connection is
really slowing down my net projects...;) Oh well, I'll ask SEUL people
about the CVS.

Thanks, this is more user-friendly. And as I mentioned before,
AC_CHECK_LIB is now obsolete ...
