linking against libraires in configure.in

I need some more help...

I need to know the command for the configure.in shell script that will link against existing libraries once they have been found during the ./configure process.

Here is what I have thus far:

configure.in

Code:

AC_ARG_ENABLE(ldap,[
Optional LDAP Support: *NEW
 --enable-ldap           Enable ldap support for non-local users
                         (requires OpenLDAP libraries @ openldap.org
                         and configuration of the /etc/pam_krb5+ldap.conf file.)],
                         [enable_ldap="$enableval"], [enable_ldap="no"])

if test "$enable_ldap" = "yes"; then
   AC_DEFINE(_LIBLDAP,1,[Define if you require OpenLDAP support.])
   AC_CHECK_HEADER(ldap.h, :, AC_MSG_ERROR(ldap.h not found! Please install the OpenLDAP libraries from openldap.org.))

   _LIBLDAP=yes
fi

AC_CONFIG_FILES(Makefile)
AC_OUTPUT

There is a good autoconf reference available at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/index.html

The macro you are looking for is AC_CHECK_LIB
