Igor Galić created TS-2334:
------------------------------

             Summary: --with-tcmalloc does not test whether the "found" library 
actually exists
                 Key: TS-2334
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2334
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build
            Reporter: Igor Galić


Our {{TS_CHECK_TCMALLOC}} does not work.

I found this when compiling --with-tcmalloc on Ubuntu, where the {{tcmalloc}} 
library is called {{tcmalloc_minimal}}. (And its corresponding -dev package, 
will, intuitively be named {{libgoogle-perftools-dev}}. )

But none of this actually matters. I don't need to have any tcmalloc libraries 
installed for this to fail horribly: {{-ltcmalloc}} will be added to the build 
simply because I specified {{--with-tcmalloc}} this causes pretty much 
everything in the configure run to break, or at least run with defaults. (e.g.: 
glibc2 is not recognized to have a reentrant {{gethostbyname()}})

proposal: ACTUALLY check if {{tcmalloc}} can be found, abort {{configure}} if 
it can't.
