Full_Name: D Kreil Version: 2.1.1 OS: HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64 0029870451 unlimited-user license Submission from: (NULL) (62.178.15.60) When the dependency readline is installed in a non-standard location the installation procedure fails. If using a non-standard installation location like --prefix=/bi/common --exec-prefix=/bi/arch the configure script default include and library paths should adapt accordingly. They don't (/usr/local defaults remain). Workaround: CPPFLAGS=-I/bi/common/include LDFLAGS=-L/bi/arch/lib ./configure This should not be necessary, I think. Best regards, D Kreil.

This is inherited from GNU autotools and apparently they think it should. It is most certainly not a bug. Presumably, the rationale is that the install target is not necessarily releated to your build tools and libraries. You could have --prefix=. or --prefix=$HOME/tools or whatever. If so, there is some danger of picking up a home-built and outdated version instead of the system one.
