When i run the configure script it fails reporting that it could not find the library it needs. So i need to supply the libexample.la's directory information in the configure script somehow so that it can find the library and build the application. I need a general way of doing this, because i stumble upon this problem several times in past.

But any general way of doing it? i mean to supply this information to the configure script in a way which will be applicable to all other scenario ?

This is not a C question.  You might have better luck asking in a 
newsgroup devoted to your platform; may I suggest comp.unix.programmer?
