[lcd4linux] can't compile mpd plugin

[Piet v. d. B. <pi...@pi...>]

Hi,

I used the old version from lcd4linux for years, with great succes.
Now i like to switch to the new version with MPD support.

And here is the problem, i can't compile the CVS version with the 
plugin_mpd.c
I have the header files for the libmpd installed and in the config.log i
get the following error related to plugin_mpd.c

the checks for the header file are all oke !
here the error part

configure:10122: checking for mpd_connect in -lmpd
configure:10157: gcc -o conftest -g -02    conftest.c -lmpd   -lm  >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmpd

where should the mpd file or directory be located ?
using Fedora Core 6 as operating system

any help is welcome
regards
Piet
