Yes, there is... Just skip the "configure" part, use an arch.make supplied
by you and type "make". It will run a few configure's for the modules of
siesta, which them selves have make files, and start building everything. If
you are too lost about arch.make's, there are plenty of them flying around
on the list archives and of course, on the Src/Sys directory, with many
flavors of compilers and math libraries - but you will most certainly have
to adjust:

1) the paths for the libraries (especially blacs and scalapack, which have
to be compiled individually)
2) the paths for the mpi stuff, if your system has some particular/weird
configuration.

Now I have realized one thing... are you trying to customize an arch.make
and *after* customizing it typing ../../Src/configure ? I've never done it
myself but I'd guess configure would overwrite whatever you put in the
arch.make with its own guesses, hence no matter what you put in configure
would generate complaints.

Cheers,

Marcos
