Re: error installing libwww

Mildred,

The problem you are having below is because of the --prefix option given to 
configure. It appears that libwww wants a full path for installation, which 
is quite common. Instead of configuring with --prefix=. , you should try 
--prefix=/home/mildred/tmp or something similar if all you want to do is grab 
the libs and whatnot.

Hope this helps,
