Description:
------------
I have shapelib installed, and the lib is located in /usr/local/lib/libshp.so

When I run ./configure, or when the PECL installer tries to run it, it says:

checking for shpopen in -lshp... no
configure: error: wrong shp lib version or lib not found

I started going through the configure script, and found two lines:

LIBNAME=shp # you may want to change this
LIBSYMBOL=SHPOpen # you most likely want to change this

So I indeed changed these values, hopefully corresponding to my version of shp lib:

LIBNAME=libshp # you may want to change this
LIBSYMBOL=shpopen # you most likely want to change this

but I still get the same error.  I've tried variants, with upper/lowercase SHPOpen, and libshp, libshape, shapelib, shplib, etc, but to no avail.

I then tried compiling shplib myself, and made sure to include shpopen.o, and tried to configure, but it fails.

I've been on this problem for 2 days now, and really need a solution.  I've already looked elsewhere for help or even alternatives to this PECL extension.  If I can't solve this problem, perhaps I'll just have to write my own extension, or just write a little C program that does what I want so I can execute it from PHP.

Hi, can you try latest SVN or you are using source packages?
I committed a fix, I think it should help.
