[...] And that's how the (generated) Makefile looks: johayek@Hayek5 $ head Makefile # Generated automatically from Makefile.in by configure. lispdir = $(prefix)/share/emacs/site-lisp srcdir = . I added the `prefix = ' line to Makefile (but actually Makefile.in and/or configure should be fixed, but I'm not familiar with the mechanism): johayek@Hayek5 $ head Makefile # Generated automatically from Makefile.in by configure. prefix = /usr/local lispdir = $(prefix)/share/emacs/site-lisp srcdir = . .. (I have posted this problem report earlier -> 5.6.{24,27}, but people have probably been to busy then to notice this.) .
