I believe someone has told me on this list that the proper way to compile a linux program is to run configure --includedir=/usr/local/include --libdir=/usr/local/lib. Is that correct? I've got a bunch of linux weenies trying to tell me their code isn't broken because I'm supposed to have headers where theirs are. They state that includedir is used by *their* project to locate it's *own* headers, so they never bothered to wire it up in Makefile.in....it gets ignored entirely. I figured I'd better know what I'm talking about before I tell someone they are 'wrong'. Especially as it's usually me ;) Steve
