| Hi,
| I was configuring a package just now and received a message which ask

| The package was the last version of Simple ICQ Client, release 0.8.1

| http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/sim-icq/sim-0.8.1.tar.gz
| The report that lead me to this mail was, during ./configure command,
|
| (...)
| checking X11/extensions/scrnsaver.h presence... yes
| configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/scrnsaver.h: present but cannot be

| configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/scrnsaver.h: check for missing
| prerequisite headers?
| configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/scrnsaver.h: proceeding with the

Please, report this to the package maintainers, as it's a configure.ac
problem. The Autoconf 2.57 doc says:
Previous versions of Autoconf merely checked whether the header was
accepted by the preprocessor. This was changed because the old test was
inappropriate for typical uses. Headers are typically used to compile,
not merely to preprocess, and the old behavior sometimes accepted
headers that clashed at compile-time. If you need to check whether a
header is preprocessable, you can use `AC_PREPROC_IFELSE' (*note
Running the Preprocessor::).
This scheme, which improves the robustness of the test, also requires
that you make sure that headers that must be included before the
HEADER-FILE be part of the INCLUDES, (*note Default Includes::). If
looking for `bar.h', which requires that `foo.h' be included before if
it exists, we suggest the following scheme:
AC_CHECK_HEADERS([foo.h])
AC_CHECK_HEADERS([bar.h], [], [],
[#if HAVE_FOO_H
# include <foo.h>
# endif
])
Thanks!
