Do you mean to include some command like (with explicit specifications of -I and -L options) in a script? If you mean this, it not what am looking for. gcc -I somthing -L something blah blah blah The scenario that I am considering is like this. Suppose I'm going to compile a software from source, which dependents on some libraries and include files. However, the libraries and include files in my system is old. Then I install the new libraries and include files in my home directory. But the makefile of the package will still look for the old libraries and include files. To make the package using the new libraries and include files, I may change the makefile of the package. But I don't want to change anything in the package, because it might be a nightmare to do so. Therefore, I'm looking for a user level configuration so that I can specify what libraries and include files to use besides system defaults. -- Regards, Peng
