Well, then that was the problem, since I didn't add/remove a
module. When you talk about 'module', do you refer to the dinamically
loadable parts of zsh or other thing? I don't get the point O:)

I think that's a great idea. So everytime zsh is reconfigured,
those paths change :)

Ok, I misunderstood that.

IS NOT a good choice at all... I didn't mean that dir, but
$prefix/lib/zsh. A typo, sorry O:)))

Yes, I know, and that's a good strategy, but I would like to be
able to change that. It will be quite useful for me :)
>Why would oyu need to force particular location?
Because one of my enterprise projects is a-kind-of-embedded-system
which has a very limited filesystem, and we want all apps under a
'short' hierarchy. Moreover, our sysadmin doesn't like deep
directories (he's strange, but we love him ;)))).
Obviously the first reason is the important one ;))) We are going
with a patched version of zsh, but we would like to do this thru
configure.

XDDD, nice name :))).

Don't worry, it fits. It barely fits on the root floppy, but
fits, which is the important here. We have removed 'ash' and keep
going with 'zsh' :)) Dammit, it's good ;)))
Thanks a lot for being so accesible and so kind with my
suggestions. A good shell with a good workgroups. Who could ask for
more? :)))))))))))
