[JDEV] how tell libjabber where libxode is?

[John A. Miller]

I wonder if anyone could offer some advice for this situation. I
downloaded and unzipped libxode-1.2, libjabber-1.2 & jabber-1.2 into my
home directory /home/jmiller/. I then went into libxode-1.2 (as superuser)
and issued the command "./configure && make install" and all went well. I
then issued the command "/sbin/ldconfig", and then went into libjabber-1.2
and issued the "./configure && make install" command. I then got an error
message from configure that it couldn't find libxode! Can someone suggest
a way to tell libjabber's configure script where to find libxode? I did
try "./configure --with-libxode=/home/jmiller/libxode-1.2" but that didn't
make any difference. The actual error message was:

checking for libxode-config... no

and the only other anomalous message was:

checking for working makeinfo... missing

Many thanks for any suggestions you may have.
