Right, but we can't prevent users from stupid things :) I did play with recording DESTDIR and PREFIX in a file like automake does, but couldn't find a way to include stuff from that file into the Makefile. If you decide to accept the feature, then I'll resubmit since Dave's cleanup patch moved things around a bit. -- Steve Fox IBM Linux Technology Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
