Just out of curiosity I tried buliding a kdelibs package to install into /usr/local/kde3 I removed and recreated the debian directory with dh_make (single binary) and added then following to debian/rules: export KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde3 and changed the configure line to: ./configure --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) --build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) --prefix=/usr/local/kde3 --mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man --infodir=\$${prefix}/share/info but the resulting package contents were: drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2002-02-26 21:01:07 ./ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2002-02-26 21:00:18 ./usr/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2002-02-26 21:01:05 ./usr/bin/ -rwxr-xr-x root/root 3112 2002-02-26 21:01:05 ./usr/bin/dcopserver -rwxr-xr-x root/root 4716 2002-02-26 21:01:05 ./usr/bin/dcopserver_shutdown -rwxr-xr-x root/root 43544 2002-02-26 21:01:05 ./usr/bin/dcopidl -rwxr-xr-x root/root 59836 2002-02-26 21:01:05 ./usr/bin/dcopidl2cpp Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, why weren't the contents all in /usr/local/kde3 Regards Nick
