Look how %configure is defined (with macros substitued): rpm --eval '%configure' If your path is not listed there, it will not be used, as the configure script internally will only refer to environment variables. Changing the spec file so that you set export CC=/path/to/compiler-gcc at the beginning of %build might do what you want. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
