Octave's Makefile.am files have lines like octlib_LTLIBRARIES = liboctave.la octlib_LTLIBRARIES = liboctinterp.la so these files are installed in $(octlibdir) and the default definition of octlibdir is set in configure.ac to be '$(libdir)/octave/$(version)' You are of course free to redefine this to be '$(libdir)' instead, and I think that will cause the libraries to be installed into /usr/lib if you set $(prefix) to be /usr. jwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
