Dear CMake developers,

I am building cmake 2.8.0 on Linux (CentOS 5.4) using the options:

        ./bootstrap --prefix=/cluster/apps/cmake/2.8.0 --datadir=share 
--docdir=doc --mandir=man

Everything goes fine, except that when I execute "make install" the name of 
some installation directories is truncated, i.e. "hare" instead of "share", 
"oc" instead of "doc", "an" instead of "man":

[...]
-- Installing: /cluster/apps/cmake/2.8.0/share/Templates/CPackConfig.cmake.in
-- Installing: /cluster/apps/cmake/2.8.0/doc/cmsys/Copyright.txt
-- Installing: /cluster/apps/cmake/2.8.0/doc/cmzlib/Copyright.txt
-- Installing: /cluster/apps/cmake/2.8.0/doc/cmcurl/COPYING

-- Installing: /cluster/apps/cmake/2.8.0/oc/ctest.txt
-- Installing: /cluster/apps/cmake/2.8.0/oc/ctest.html
[...]

As you can see in the excerpt above, this is not systematic; some files (e.g. 
Copyright.txt) are installed in the right directories.

A simple workaround is to add a "/" before the directory names:

        ./bootstrap --prefix=/cluster/apps/cmake/2.8.0 --datadir=/share 
--docdir=/doc --mandir=/man

Although this is not consistent with the documentation ("bootstrap --help"):

        --docdir=DIR            install documentation files in PREFIX/DIR


Best regards,
Olivier
