Problems with popt

[Bruno Trevisan]

Hi

Almost giving up installing GC1.6... hell on earth!
I've instaled popt, in versions 1.5 and them in 1.6.1 and now in 1.6.2,
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH on my system includes the place where the libraries
are, I _did_ run ldconfig as root after instalation, and I tested popt,
it is working but ./configure in gnucash insists:

checking for poptStrippedArgv in -lpopt... no
configure: error:

  popt 1.5 or newer is required to build gnucash. You can download
  the latest version from ftp://people.redhat.com/sopwith/popt/, or if
  you're running Debian, install the libpopt-dev pacakge.

What am I missing?

Thanx
