installation problem

[fcc]

Hi,

I'm a new user of libidn.  I installed it on my linux Redhat Enterprise 
5.0 server with the prefix=/usr instead of the default /usr/local when 
calling ./configure, since there is nothing in /usr/local, i.e. 
everything is under /usr..  I then did a make and make install.  Using 
the examples given on gnu.org as well as my own test program, I get 
compile errors with one or more of the following, depending on the 
program being compiled
(e.g. cc -o sample sample.c):

example2.c:(.text+0x216): undefined reference to `punycode_encode'
example2.c:(.text+0x216): undefined reference to `punycode_decode'
undefined reference to `stringprep_locale_charset'
undefined reference to `stringprep_locale_to_utf8'
undefined reference to `stringprep_nameprep'
undefined reference to `stringprep'
undefined reference to `stringprep_strerror'
undefined reference to `idna_to_ascii_lz'
undefined reference to `idna_to_unicode_lzlz'
undefined reference to `idna_strerror'

If I try:

libtool cc -o example example.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs libstringprep`
then I get the following errors:

Package libstringprep was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libstringprep.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libstringprep' found
*** Warning: inferring the mode of operation is deprecated.
*** Future versions of Libtool will require --mode=MODE be specified.
libtool: link: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: link: specify a tag with `--tag'

Does anybody have any idea what the compile problems are?

Thanks,
