If that's what you want, you just write your Makefile.am like this ... scmdatadir = $(datadir)/guile scmdata_DATA = whatever1.scm whatever2.scm ... and add an extra install step (for which I forget the syntax) that does guile-config add-load-path mydata $(datadir)/guile "My Location" Am I still missing something? No, you're not - that's just fine, and would be IMHO the 'standard way' to do things, or at least one of two ways, with the other probably being putting stuff in $(guile-prefix)/share/guile. I don't see your point - can you be more concrete? I was trying to contort the tag mechanism into doing what you showed how to do earlier. Now I realize there's no need, so with the caveat that I'd like the docs to explain how to do in-own-prefix installs as you did in email, I can fully support your proposal. -- Greg Troxel _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
