Is /lib > /usr/lib %{libdir}" correct? Or should it be something else? I believe this is the controlling bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1510073. Or it is the controlling issue for Fedora. It may apply to Red Hat as well. I'm less clear on the fix. It seem's like Fedora's /usr/share/config.site should properly handle --prefix=/usr/local and libdir, without the need to add a /usr/local/share/site.config or the need to RTFM. That is, Fedora's site.config should "just work". Jeff _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
