got libcurl-dev installed?

Good catch, but after defining these variables myself ./configure works
and having a closer look at the error, it appears to me that it doesn't like the syntax of PKG_CHECK_MODULES.
Commenting out these two lines unfortunately leads to an undefined variable ACEOF which causes more issues.
Did you have these issues too?

Scratch that, I had to run aclocal before ./autogen.sh

Question: If I upgrade one of my 58XX cards to a 79XX card, and consequently upgrade my SDK from 2.5 to 2.6, I can still use the phatk .bin from 2.5 on the 5870, correct?

2.6 will be installed, but I'd be using a phatk.bin from 2.5 on my 5870, and a diakgcn.bin from 2.6 on the 79XX for the best speed, correct?

Now how do I keep those .bins in use in future versions of CGMiner? (I do keep backups of my known good working bins in a separate folder)

I've been trying to run cgminer with remoting into my Raspberry Pi via ssh.
I tried no use nohup to avoid for cgminer to receive a SIGHUP when I leave ssh, but whenever the input is redirected nodev/null (what nohup does), cgminer maxes out the CPU usage. Bad thing on the RPi.

How can I get around this?

Ah, the S99cgminer script I presume.  I'll try the screen command. 

Thanks!

Add to cgminer:
... --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1,192.168.0/24 ...
(of course you'll have to correct 192.168.0 to match your network)

Then to exit cgminer:
 echo -n quit | nc 127.0.0.1 4028 ; echo
OR, if you don't have nc (or ncat) then you can use:
 java API quit
if you have API.class in the current directory

i.e. see if a clean exit resolves it

Also, killing screen after 1 second is often before cgminer completes exiting
(since it has to wait on a bunch of threads and then exit with the summary)
... just get the screen to exit when cgminer exits

Edit: OK that reply is a mix of comments to the previous posts ... but the point is yes use screen ... and also a clean exit

Since I updated cgminer the program seems to freeze up a lot. My pool will report that the miner disconnects and reconnects every couple minutes. If I then restart cgminer, it stops responding and even task manager can't close it. It has happened on most of my rigs. Is anyone else having this problem?

can you write exactly what i need to type and i will do it for you it seem mine freeze up after a few hours but it doesn't freeze my comp just cg

Firstly, make sure you always run with --api-listen (at least)
Then on a rig that has disconnected and reconnected many times, post here the output of 'devdetails' and 'notify'
On windows, the easiest is probably a command prompt in the cgminer directory and type:
 java API devdetails
 java API notify

I have java 7 installed but the commands are not recognized. I put api listen on though.
