Could you explain in greater detail what the problem in the existing configure.in is, and how your change fixes it?
The problem I had was that I was building to a prefix directory that included the word 'linux'. The emacs configure was preprocessing the Makefile through the C preprocessor, and this was substituting 'linux' to 1, thus making all the paths invalid.
I can't reproduce this: mkdir ~/linux cd emacs ./configure --prefix=/home/cyd/linux make make install Compilation and installation proceeds as expected, with the emacs executable installed in to /home/cyd/linux/bin, etc.
