If you do: configure --prefix=/something/special make make install grep -r /something/special /something/special (You need to use a grep that supports -r or use find.) That will show you all the files that currently have hard coded paths. (It should always work, but I'm not guaranteeing that.) If you use a really long path, you might even be able to write an install script that fixes up the binary files. You might need to adjust all this for new releases of fvwm. I don't understand your requirements, I guess you don't have the cooperation of the admins on the target systems. Have you thought about installing into /var/tmp? -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
