Sure: =========================== /etc/profile.d/site.sh =========================== CONFIG_SITE="/usr/share/site/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" export CONFIG_SITE ================== /usr/share/site/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu ================== #!/bin/sh # Site script for configure.

To avoid the libdir variable to be clobbered by this script, it is sufficient to pass a --libdir option. 2. It is not possible to avoid the libexecdir variable modification. You can either live with it, or clobber it afterwards. Bruno
