Hello Nikolay,
could you try to remove lines 1018 - 1022 from configure.in, run autoconf
and rerun the configure?
Regards,

_________________________________________________________________
Empty your memory,
with a free()...
like a pointer!
If you cast a pointer to an integer,
it becomes an integer,
if you cast a pointer to a struct,
it becomes a struct.
The pointer can crash...,
and can overflow.
Be a pointer my friend...
