the way wo do this in slony is with the following macro:
AC_MSG_CHECKING(for postgresql.conf.sample)
PGSHARE_POSSIBLE_LOCATIONS="${with_pgsharedir} /usr/local/pgsql/share /usr/local/share/postgresql /usr/share/postgresql
/usr/local/share/pgsql/usr/share/pgsql /opt/local/pgsql/share /opt/pgsql/share
${PG_BINDIR}/../share
for i in $PGSHARE_POSSIBLE_LOCATIONS; do if test -s "$i/postgresql.conf.sample" ; then PG_SHAREDIR=$i/
break; fi
done
if test -n "$PG_SHAREDIR" ; then AC_MSG_RESULT(${PG_SHAREDIR}postgresql.conf.sample)
AC_DEFINE(PG_SHAREDIR_VERIFIED,1,[PostgreSQLsharedir])
else AC_MSG_RESULT(not found) AC_MSG_ERROR( postgresql.conf.sample not found! Please specify the sharedir
with --with-pgsharedir=<dir> )
fi
(where ${PG_BINDIR} is the result of: pg_config --bindir )
