[GRASS-dev] libLAS on Ubuntu 14.04

[Yann Chemin]

Hi,

I have libboost-thread-dev, libboost-program-options-dev, and
libboost-all-dev installed
in configure options:  --with-liblas-config=/usr/bin/liblas-config
--with-liblas=yes

still:
checking whether to use libLAS... yes
checking for liblas-config... /usr/bin/liblas-config
configure: error: *** Unable to locate libLAS library.

Full config script:
CFLAGS="-g -Wall"
./configure --with-cxx --with-wxwidgets --with-freetype=yes
--with-postgres=no --with-sqlite=yes --without-tcltk
--enable-largefile=yes --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2
--with-opengl-libs=/usr/include/GL --with-readline --with-python=yes
--with-lapack --with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config
--with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj --with-pthread
--with-liblas-config=/usr/bin/liblas-config --with-liblas=yes
--with-blas
