Yes. You simply specify --prefix=/nonexistent at configuration time. At installation time you use "make install DESTDIR=/tmp/destdir" and then move the installed files from /tmp/destdir/nonexistent to /usr/local or wherever you want to have them. But you should know that by doing this you push the LD_LIBRARY_PATH problem back to the user (unless you already deal with it in some way). Bruno
