That message could be a little more helpful.

A little more helpful message for the gecko-less
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2005-10-19 17:17:03 UTC 
-	AC_MSG_ERROR([No gecko found])
+	AC_MSG_ERROR([No gecko found - please install the mozilla-dev package.])

Actually that's wrong, it could also satisfy the dep with a mozilla-firefox-dev,
firefox-dev, seamonkey-dev, (and in future xulrunner-dev) package, which may
also go under different names (-dev, -devel, etc.) depending on distribution...
Comment 3 Björn Lindqvist 2005-10-19 20:31:28 UTC 
Yes that is true. I don't know what the best error message would be, but I'm
sure the devs can come up with something. Anything but "No Gecko found" (which
sound kinda humorus, but was annoying to have to look through configure.ac to
find out what it meant) would be fine.
Comment 4 Christian Persch 2005-12-30 19:34:11 UTC 
I changed it in cvs.
