Hi,

I am running in a configuration issue in another project with two 
conflicting libuuid.a (one in /usr/lib/w32api and the other in 
/usr/lib/e2fsprogs).

The construct:

         AC_SEARCH_LIBS(uuid_generate, uuid, ,
             [AC_MSG_ERROR([cannot link with -luuid, install e2fsprogs])])
         ;;

basically fails.

Is there a way to solve that without introducing something hardcoded 
like LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/e2fsprogs" what breaks portability?

Thank you,
-- Bernd
