It all boils down to what we need to do for the specific package. For instance, kde has to have KDE_PREFIX set and looks for prereqs there. What I did after kdelibs was to have it look in KDE_PREFIX and then install in DESTDIR. I then install again into the normal location. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
