Again, thanks Erik for patching the SG patch ;=))
Have yet to update and try SG again, but...

It seems WHATEVER the reason is, IF it involves
a SimGear AC_CHECK_LIB() then _REMOVE_ the
AC_CHECK_LIB() from SG configure.ac ;=))

There is no reason to check 'libraries' on a
'library' build, point blank! SG is a set of
libraries, and need have _NO_ library checks
to build them!

It seems Erik's previous patch to SG configure.ac
did remove some Apple framework library checks,
but did not go far enough IMHO to REMOVE ALL
AC_CHECK_LIB() in a 'library' build.

That is, remove the check -
-o "x$ac_cv_lib_OpenThreads_OpenThreadsGetVersion" != "xyes"
and the whole AC_CHECK_LIB() check block preceeding
it!

Or conversely, what is the 'wisdom' for keeping
such library checks in SG library build? Any test
executables that rely on OSG libraries should be
moved to FG, where we _DO_ do copious OSG library
checks.

John, I will try to get around to testing your patch
of your acinclude.m4 patch in FG, where it matters.
It looks good on simple inspection...

As you may understand, I am all for helping Joe 
User have an easy life, and have dedicated a big
part of my web site to doing just that, building
and running FG... and my 'makefg' scripts... so my 
perspective is definitely Joe User - ME!? ;=))

Regards,

Geoff.
