I use JTC (Java like threads for C++ from ooc.com). I installed it to the
default directory (/usr/local/). So the libraries are under
/usr/local/lib. I use the following test to look for it:

AC_CHECK_LIB(JTC, notifyAll)

It responds that it cannot find it. Yet I look in the directory and its
there. I run "grep notifyAll libJTC.so" and it says the binary has a
match. I know that function exists in the library.

So I am confused why its not working
