This seem possibly useful, but a little hackish. If there were a PREFIXES environment variable, and programs constructed paths of all sorts from PREFIXES, that would seem less kludgy. Having /usr/local begs the question of whether on NetBSD /usr/pkg should be included, but really this isn't important becaus compiling guile from pkgsrc results in /usr/pkg/share/guile being in the load path from its own prefix anyway. -- Greg Troxel _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
