Jean-Marc, when I was testing whether the extra mkinstalldirs was needed, I first modified my local versions of config/relyx_configure.{ac,in}, so:
-# make sure prefix is correctly quoted -prefix="'$prefix'" I did this because I found that setting the prefix explicitly leads to the creation of the directory tree <build dir>/lib/reLyX/\'/my/explicit/prefix/path/\'/share/lyx/reLyX Are you happy for me to simply commit the above change to both the 14x and 13x trees? -- Angus
