This is inherited from GNU autotools and apparently they think it should. It is most certainly not a bug. Presumably, the rationale is that the install target is not necessarily releated to your build tools and libraries. You could have --prefix=. or --prefix=$HOME/tools or whatever. If so, there is some danger of picking up a home-built and outdated version instead of the system one. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
