Didier,

$ ./configure --help

By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.  You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.

For better control, use the options below.

Fine tuning of the installation directories:
   --bindir=DIR            user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
   --sbindir=DIR           system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
   --libexecdir=DIR        program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
   --sysconfdir=DIR        read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]
   --sharedstatedir=DIR    modifiable architecture-independent data [PREFIX/com]
   --localstatedir=DIR     modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]
   --libdir=DIR            object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]

So the --prefix /usr/bin is okay, but there is no --enable-libpath option.
Instead of the latter I specified --libdir /usr/lib64.

All went well until:
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `po/Makefile.in.in'

I'll trace this down.

Rich
