yes. Just reiterating the link to the macro that I add regularly to configure.ac http://ac-archive.sourceforge.net/guidod/ac_set_default_paths_system.html The main trick is to modify only the default-path (!!) of the libdirpath and therefore let the user be free to override it on the commandline. When a user has overridden the bindirpath then "../bin" might simply be the wrong choice as it would not end up near the binary nor in the $PATH. libdir=`echo $libdir |sed -e 's:^..exec_prefix./lib$:${bindir}:'` perhaps add a similar thing to the libtool m4 macro, no? _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
