Hello, Stepan :) Last night I tested autoconf as follows: 1. I tried to compile GraphicsMagick using the autoconf that ships with Fedora Core 5. Just like with FC3, it bailed with an error message that said that I needed autoconf 2.59c. 2. Grabbed a new copy of autoconf from CVS, compiled and installed it. 3. Grabbed a new copy of KRename (the only application that I saw this problem with) and then compiled and installed that. This time, no unwanted additions to my / directory :) So I guess that the problem is fixed in CVS, at least as far as Fedora Core 5 is concerned. I will do the same test again with any test releases/final releases that you end up doing on autoconf 2.59. A little trivia about this problem on my system: it REALLY annoyed me until I discovered why these directories were being installed in / instead of /usr/local/kde-svn. So one time when I was getting ready to install a fresh build of KRename (having used autoconf 2.59 from CVS), I had Konqueror open when I became root and ran "make install" Then I knew - I just sat there and watched the directories that I mentioned in my initial email on this subject being written right smack dab in / Have a Great Day/Evening, Steven P.
