Though that's contrary to the gnu standards. Getting a path from somewhere is fine, even good, but --with is not the place for it. http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Configuration.html Do not use a --with option to specify the file name to use to find certain files. That is outside the scope of what --with options are for. _______________________________________________ Bug-guile mailing list Bug-guile@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-guile
