    <para><parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc</parameter>: This switch puts the

    instead of <filename class='directory'>/usr/etc</filename>.</para>

    <para><parameter>--localstatedir=/var</parameter>: This switch puts

    <para><parameter>--disable-static</parameter>: This switch prevents
    the static library from being built.</para>

    <application>ScrollKeeper</application>. Change the locations if you have
    <application>KDE</application> and/or <application>GNOME</application>-2
    installed in a prefix other than the ones shown. This information is stored
