Please start with the series "as it is", to make sure that it works the way the series is done. If it does, we can have a look at the library questions. If you see installation problems with one of the "inferior" libraries, it is most probably the right solution to apply my patches to them as well (maybe documented somewhere in the tree), even if this means that we should asap push the changes to the upstream versions of these packets. My experience is that if you start providing arbitrary variables to inferior configure scripts you are doing something wrong. The autotools perfectly handle the case that a packet contains sub packets with their own configure scripts, and they know how do to it _right_, which is most times not the case if you fiddle around with the things manually. This was one of the problems with the old code which called the configure scripts; it didn't even handle DESTDIR correctly. Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.
