This is the patch I wish to apply: Welcome to the pains of the GNU autotools! Here's what you'll need: http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/index.html You should be able to examine the configure.in file and "reverse engineer" how to accomplish what you need.

Don't let it diminish your morale. :-) -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
