Thanks Bill, I looked again at configure (autoconf script?) and I saw additional make install options so i did: configure --prefix=/target/dir ..... make make install exec_prefix=/build/dir prefix=/build/dir It almost worked except for two subdirectories: /target/dir include <-- apr*h apu*h and expat.h lib <-- only libexpat* related .so and conf/* had the the build path. it does not look like that there is a simple option(s). I think that more effort than changing a main option for configure or add a 'sed' is not a good thing to do. We do not want to mess with a process that so many brilliant people have worked out over the years :-) Thanks again - Fred William A.
