   Aaargh! In my last reply that should have been:   
      
   AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT(/opt/mbse) change to AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT($HOME)   
      
   in configure.ac   
      
   The important point being that SETUP.sh runs first, and by the time you log   
   in as mbse, $HOME is already set to $MHOME_ROOT/mbse, or per your   
   naming, $HOMEROOT/mbse (or whatever), so that all you have to do is run   
   autoconf one time, and configure will pick it up and pass it along anywhere   
   it's used in the code.    
      
   The initial MBSE setup could be redone to make things easier for packagers.   
   Wasn't somebody doing a .deb? Wonder how they handled it? Have to look.    
      
   later,
