Actually I think it's now --with-geany-libdir, since ${libdir} is not necessarily /usr/lib on all platforms. But it's broken, since I forgot to change one instance of "geany-prefix" to "geany-libdir" in geany.m4. I'll fix it immediately, for the time being. I'll implement the changes I mentioned after 0.19 is out. -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin
