Your proposal is alright for this. > Sorry, I'm not understanding how guilelibdir/guileobjectdir differ > from (2). You proposed a single M4 macro, `GUILE_SCHEME_DIR', which would provide the user with the ability to customize only *one* installation directory: the one were Scheme files will go. In your scheme (as I understand it), the other directories (the one for shared objects in particular) are *imposed*: the user cannot change them. What I'm saying in (1) is that the user should be able to choose these two (or three) directories at installation time.
