Hi all, i am trying to do a local install of Dolfin on server fenics.org.  
I encountered a few errors/obstacles.

Error in the Dolfin documentation (p. 104):
./configure --prefix=~/local
Produces an error message: must use absolute path. This works:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local

After running configure command above i get an error during make install:
libtool: install: error: cannot install `_dolfin.la' to a directory not  
ending in /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dolfin

Running configure with --enable-pydolfin the latter error does not occur,  
make install puts _dolfin.la instead in  
~/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dolfin.

Regards,
Mads Hoel
