Yes I had always done that, but it didn't help.

Thanks for confirming, I now got this to work without problems. It is
necessary to use --libdir and --libexecdir because the system's libdir
is not /usr/lib, and libexec is never used. It still works for prefix =
/usr so all is well.

Yes, and that can be solved. Thanks for your avr-man script, but it has
parts of the man path hard-coded so I had to patch it up. It also fails
to distinguish between docdir and mandir and uses the docdir path for
the location of the man pages - not useful in my case. Consider
introducing a MAN_INST_DIR at the appropriate location in Makefile.in
and avr-man.in.

Thanks again,

Volker
