Hi,

I am using a system where I must install poppler in a subdirectory tree of 
/var.  I am using the --prefix=DIR option of ./configure to compile it.

I need to use some of the poppler utilities (e.g., pdftotext). pdftotext (in 
/var/task/poppler/utils) wants to write a temporary file in 
/var/task/poppler/utils/.libs at each run.

On the system I am using, pdftotext does not have permission to write to 
/var/task/poppler/utils/.libs and I am not able to give it that permission. I 
copied pdftotext to /tmp and pdftotext successfully created the subdirectory 
/tmp/.libs but does not have permission to write to it.

Those are the confines of the system I am using. Is it possible to compile 
poppler to use /tmp for the temporary files rather than creating a .libs 
subdirectory?

Thanks,
Bill
