Hi,
in ac-config.h.in
#define localstatedir @localstatedir@
Doesn't work! configure, if run without arguments, will replace it with ${prefix}/var. rpm packagers (especially when using the %configure macro) never notice that because they run configure with the --localstatedir=/var argument (which forces it to get an absolute path), but it's wrong and will break for normal "./configure; make; make install" builds. The correct way to do that is via the Makefile.am. Write it like this: AM_CPPFLAGS = -DLOCALSTATEDIR=""$(localstatedir)"" Please also read http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Defining-Directories.h... and always verify that the package builds correctly even without rpm "specialties" like %configure.
