Re: New configure

vin> I don't know what you had in mind. Here's the configure info vin> from today's 21.5 build: configure:22636: checking for png_read_image in -lpng configure:22666: icc -o conftest -Wall -w1 -we147 -g -O3 -Ob2 -Os -tpp6 -axK -xK -ip -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -z nocombreloc -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib conftest.c -ljpeg -lz -lXpm -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lpng 1>&5 It's not that -lz "comes before" -lpng; that part is actually irrelevant to the way autoconf works. Autoconf simply wasn't told that PNG needs zlib.
