I can't think of any other module where the user specifies the path to the library. If I install a lib+header-files in /usr/local it is common that the library goes into /usr/local/lib and the header-file goes into /usr/local/include. A an administrator I wouldn't like to put everything into /usr/local. Does that make sense? Uwe -- Uwe.Steinmann@fernuni-hagen.de Tel: +2331 987 4528 Fax: +2331 987 375
