I did go looking into the resultant Makefile and there I did see that the "--prefix=/opt/foo" is needed in order to target a new destination directory. So that problem is solved. However my compile fails *everywhere* today on a multitude of systems from Debian sid on amd64 to FreeBSD UNIX on amd64 and Debian on ppc64le and ppc64 big-endian. So I know I am doing something abundantly wrong. Dennis
