Just a quick one here, Ive asked a few people individually but thought I might as well ask here as well. Myself and a friend were looking at this in rbconfig.rb CONFIG["prefix"] = (TOPDIR || DESTDIR + "/usr/local") this seems to create a situation where DESTDIR is never used as TOPDIR is always true. Would it be a reasonable thing to possibly switch them around, say... CONFIG["prefix"] = (DESTDIR || TOPDIR + "/usr/local") This way DESTDIR can be evaluated and if its not set to something than TOPDIR can be used...?? Its just a thought I thought I might throw out there. If I happen to be confusing things please straighten me out... -ray -- ------------------------------------------------ http://hackfoo.net/~ray <rayathackfoo.net>
