I actually us a flag to configure:
--with-includes="/u/readline" \
--with-libraries="/u/readline /usr/contrib/lib"
Should we be poking around in /usr/local by default? Comments?
No! The configure options (including the /usr/local typical usage)
are clearly outlined in INSTALL and easy to use. In fact, arbitrary
series of space-separated directories can be given as you illustrate.
The configuration stuff works fine now. Why mung it up again? If we
make searching /usr/local a default, we need a way to prevent that if
the wrong stuff is in /usr/local. It makes sense to simply specify
where to look, document what to do, and be done.
Cheers,
Brook
