Summary: No mp3-support with libmad installed

Initial Comment:
I build glame without having libmad installed, typed make uninstall 
und completly reinstalled it (new folder with source-files, configure, 
make, make install).
Glame still complains about libmad not being installed!

It's a problem with the configure script. It tries to check for libmad via pkg-config, but libmad doesn't actually use pkg-config in its current version (libmad-0.15.1b, madplay-0.15.2b, libid3tag-0.15.1b). Here's the resulting files of a self-compiled libmad-0.15.1b installation - note the complete absence of anything related to pkg-config:

[zlatko@disclosure]:~$ ls -1R /usr/local/stow/mad-libmad-0.15.1b/
/usr/local/stow/mad-libmad-0.15.1b/:
include
lib

/usr/local/stow/mad-libmad-0.15.1b/include:
mad.h

/usr/local/stow/mad-libmad-0.15.1b/lib:
libmad.a
libmad.la
libmad.so
libmad.so.0
libmad.so.0.2.1
[zlatko@disclosure]:~$ 

I'll attach a patch (read: a dirty hack) against the configure script that fixes the problem. Note that it doesn't actually check whether libmad is available or not, it just assumes that it's there and available for linking via simply adding "-lmad" to the linker options. Adjust as necessary if your libmad is installed in an unusual place (eg. "-L/some/obscure/place/for/a/lib -lmad").

HTH.

Look into the config.log file and try to understand (or
quote the relevant section) why the test for libmad fails.
