Command Explanations

--prefix=$GNOME_PREFIX: Setting the prefix using this parameter will ensure that the prefix is consistent with the installation environment and the package will be installed in the correct location.

--sysconfdir=$GNOME_SYSCONFDIR: Setting the sysconfdir using this parameter will ensure that the sysconfdir is consistent with the installation environment and the package will be installed in the correct location.

--localstatedir=/var/lib: This parameter is used so that all ScrollKeeper files are installed in, and the ScrollKeeper database is properly updated in /var/lib/scrollkeeper instead of some files being installed in $GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper.

--disable-scrollkeeper: Use this parameter if you wish to disable the updates to the scrollkeeper database.
