I compiled GPG for ARM recently and had to compile libgpg-error in the process. Today I need to compile AIDE and the following error shows up during ./configure:

configure: error: You need to have libgpg-error.a installed to use libgcrypt.

I compiled libgpg-error again, with the --enable-static option on ./configure and now I have a libgpg-error.a file in /usr/local/lib. Yet, the configure script from AIDE can't find it apparently. I checked the script but didn't find anything obvious inside.

I'm stuck here, what should I check next?

I am using a debian system and installed the libgpg-error-dev package and it worked.

Via this forum post, adding --disable-static to ./configure was my fix. I'm installing in a web hosting environment as a user without sudo/root.

My full configure command is ./configure --prefix=$HOME --without-zlib --disable-static
