Ok, now I see where localedir etc is set. But sysconfdir is a problem: configure supports --sysconfdir which conflicts with libc_cv_sysconfdir :-(. Should we remove the option and thereby forcing the user to use sysconfdir? But how can this be done? --sysconfdir support seems to be added automatically by autoconf. Or how can we fix this? We could initialize libc_cv_sysconfdir to sysconfdir instead of leaving it empty as it's done now - but this way the user can't override libc_cv_sysconfdir when using --prefix=/usr and I don't see directly how we can check if the user has used the prefix. Anybody with a real solution for this? Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger SuSE Labs aj@suse.de private aj@arthur.inka.de
