It's easy enough to try it. You're right: spaces and double quotes in --prefix don't work. Rather than document that restriction, I think we should fix it. At least, we should definitely fix it so that spaces work. Double quotes are far less important. It should not be difficult to modify the configure script or the Makefile to apply proper quoting when passing $(prefix) to $(CC). Ian
