Hi again,

  two more things:

  * maybe a faster solution (and check), is run AC_CHECK_SIZEOF(int)
before setting anything related with libpopt?

  * if this doesn't work, maybe you could add -rpath in your LIBS so as
to have a default lib path for popt

cc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/house/bortz/include   conftest.c
- -L/house/bortz/lib -Wl,-rpath,/house/bortz/lib -lpopt -lm

Regards,

PS sorry for the other top-posting.
