[emboss-dev] ./configure --prefix=/somewhere --destdir=/chroot/somewhere

[Mahmut Uludag]

Hi Sebastien,

I don't know about the chroot environments and has poor knowledge of 
configure system EMBOSS have. I write just in case you are not aware of 
the configure script --help option.

   > ./configure --help

It has a section called "Fine tuning of the installation directories" 
that i thought can be used to address the problem you described.

Picked below few options that might be relevant to your query.

   --bindir=DIR            user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
   --sbindir=DIR           system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
   --libexecdir=DIR        program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
   --libdir=DIR            object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]
