Configure --with-neon

Configure complains that there is "no suitable neon.." installed..

I HAD installed 0.25.x from source and it has placed the files

libneon.a
libneon.la
pkgconfig

..in the /usr/local/lib directory

I added the switch --with-neon=/usr/local/lib

..no joy...

Please.. someone enlighten the clueless..

what did I do wrong.. (or not do at all..)

Thanks..

John..

Ah, thanks, I guess I'm guilty of using various examples found out on 
this newsgroup and therefore not specifically reading the "help"

Lesson learned.. ALSO read the help..

I missed the fact that it was looking for neon-config specifically..

./configure --help says:

   --with-neon=PREFIX      Determine neon library configuration based on
                           'PREFIX/bin/neon-config'. Default is to  
search for
                           neon in a subdirectory of the top source  
directory
                           and then to look for neon-config in $PATH.

Since your neon-config is probably in /usr/local/bin/neon-config  
(not /usr/local/lib/bin/neon-config) /usr/local would be the correct  
prefix to choose.

Though I seem to recall seeing other software do it the other way, so  
you just have to read the help or try it both ways until it works.

The value of the --prefix option passed to the neon configure script?

	cd neon-x.y.z/
	./configure --prefix=/usr/local
	make
	make install

That was it..!!!

Now, of course, I'm wondering how I was to know that..??

Is there a logic here that I'm missing.. (for future reference...)

Thanks..

IIRC, it should instead be 

    --with-neon=/usr/local
