Summary: Configure should check for 'check' library
Initial Comment:
Building expat-1.95.6 on SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-15
sun4u sparc SUNW.
The configure script ought to test for the 'check'
library being installed, perhaps by testing for
check.h. Otherwise you get failures later on in the
build process (during 'make check') if the library is
not present.
Since the normal convention is for missing libraries to
generate a message during configure, rather than a
compile error later on, I hope you can count this as a bug.
If the library is not found then certain parts of the
package could be disabled from building; i.e., the test
suite.
