Silly me, I should have read the man page for that setting. I also wanted to check that this was the expected behaviour. I personally would design it so that the default configuration would install into the default location.I think that would adhere better to the "Rule of Least Surprise". I'm currently assembling a whole custom Linux distribution for our embedded product, and 9-times-out-of-10 I can just call ./configure for each package and everything works as expected. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Aras ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
