But there is no problem to solve AFAICS. I haven't seen anything yet that you can do with DESTDIR that you cannot do with the existing prefix mechanism. The only real problem is that the rpm macros apparently break the prefix stuff; but then it's the responsibility of the rpm tools to provide a work around (which is what %makeinstall is). -- Alexandre Julliard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
