When configuring in libs, the --prefix parameter is not passed down, because it interacts with ncurses. We never "make install" in libs, so it does not hurt, not to have the right prefix parameter. A side effect of that manipulation, however, is that the check for the texmf tree fails in libs. While this is annoying, it is completely harmless. The check in texk/kpathsea / texk/web2c, however should find the texmf tree in $prefix/share/texmf or $prefix/texmf. Thomas
