But the correct way to do this is not to override "prefix", but to specify DESTDIR. But note this should only be used for e.g. making a binary package. It probably would fail in strange ways if you actually tried to use the resulting binaries in their DESTDIR location, instead of just tarring them up or whatever. /path/to/configure --prefix=/desired/prefix make make install DESTDIR=/tmp/foobar Brian
