I did that. I've tried using:

AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([LORICA_CONF_FILE],
["$sysconfdir/lorica.conf"], [Full path to Lorica configuration file])


Which gives me:

/* Full path to Lorica configuration file */
#define LORICA_CONF_FILE "${prefix}/etc/lorica.conf"

I'm sure that I'm doing something stupid, but what?

Thanks,
