[mythtv-users] 0.22RC1 firewire problem

The configure script is not detecting firewire properly. I'm on Fedora 
11 x86_64.

I had to modify the script to force firewire="yes" and libavc_5_3="yes".

 From some quick debugging, the failure is because the 'has_library()' 
routine is returning false.
I do notice in the configure script that has_library() contains a 
comment saying '#deprecated, use check_lib or check_lib2 instead'.

I think the has_library() is looking in /lib, /usr/lib rather than 
/lib64, /usr/lib64 which is where the firewire libraries are stored.

I wonder if these newer non-deprecated routines handle 64-bit correctly?
