Trying to run ./configure gives an error with libmicrohttpd

[lupino3]

Hello,
I am trying to compile libhttpserver, and when I run ./configure I get this error:

[...]
checking microhttpd.h usability... no
checking microhttpd.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: microhttpd.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: microhttpd.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: microhttpd.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: microhttpd.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: microhttpd.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
configure: WARNING:     ## --------------------------------- ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to BUG-REPORT-ADDRESS ##
configure: WARNING:     ## --------------------------------- ##
checking for microhttpd.h... no
configure: error: "Microhttpd header files not found"

Is there a particular version of libmicrohttpd that I need to compile libhttpserver? I currently have libmicrohttpd-dev and libmicrohttpd5 version 0.4.4-1, and I use Ubuntu 10.04.

It may be an error due to old libmicrohttpd. configure.ac should be fixed in order to set better the minimum requirements for this library.

definitively solved through the use of PKG_CHECK_MODULE
