I know you already solved your problem, so this is just FYI. AFAIK autotools always default to /usr/local when doing pure ./configure. Fedora's %configure macro changes --prefix to /usr to make this correct for us. So if you are creating some rpm that uses autotools, you'd better use %configure macro (it sets more things, not just --prefix). -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky@xxxxxxxxxx> Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno PGP: 7B087241 Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com
