Hello Tom,

that´s more than a hack... sorry... but it´s simply wrong!!! ;-)

First at all aclocal.m4 will be created by aclocal... (so aclocal.m4
will be created from acinclude.m4 and configure.in... - and some system
.m4 files)

If you would patch aclocal.m4, so calling "make -f Makefile.dist" would
cancel your patches.

But I didn't understand the problem as well, because it should work.


I guess the problem are the cached values:

Maybe you started once configure without specifying the --prefix=
so /opt/kde will be cached for the next configure calls.

So a good hint would be:
If something with configure doesn´t work as expected remove the file
config.cache and restart configure with the right options...

Bye

Walter
