Well, the *really* strange thing is that both scripts use the same
test in configure.in:
(psiconv)
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(unistd.h)
(wv)
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(fcntl.h sys/file.h sys/ioctl.h unistd.h)
I have checked the resulting configure script, and both macro-calls
expand to the same code. wv has several other tests, though, so perhaps
one of them modifies the results?
Could you please check the config.log of both packages (psiconv and wv)
after configuring both? That may tell us what is happening behind the
scenes.
Thanks,
Frodo
