Hi Dan,

The autotools handle all of the etc, share, lib, and other stuff =20
themselves. You just indicate the top-level directory where all this =20
stuff goes. This is usually one of /usr or /usr/local, rarely /opt or =20
a folder under your home directory. I don't know whether ubuntu has =20
strict rules for software not installed from packages, but /usr/local =20
(the default) may be the better choice. But then I'd use =20
--sysconfdir=3D/etc. Debian (and ubuntu probably too) allows to back up =20
the configuration of the whole system by tarring /etc.

This is pretty embarrassing. I forgot to add refdblib.inc.php to the =20
relevant Makefile.am. Now everyone out there trying to test the web =20
interface thinks it's broken anyway. I'll upload a fixed archive later =20
today.
