gnupg configure not searching in /usr/local/ ?

Got a feedback from one user:
He installed all libraries fresh, but still ./configure of gnupg-1.9.15
did complain. It seems that it did not look in /usr/local/
libs though this was default target from make install
in all those packages.

Any hints?
Is this likely to be a bug or a configuration or PATH issue
on the specific platform?

That depends on his toolchain installation as well as the PATH
setting. The default installation target has nothing to do with it;
the default is always /usr/local.

If this is the standard installation target, wouldn't it make sense
to have it searched for libraries in a standard ./configure run?

No. Because it would be a surprise if one package suddenly starts to
behave differently. If you still think this is a good idea, try to
convince the automake folks.
