After doing a git clean -f in my local git repo, I notice that: config.mak.autogen still exists, and inside it: prefix = /usr/local That file is included in the Makefile *after* prefix is set, and so if it's not updated, the Makefile will default to /usr/local. According to the INSTALL doc, the default prefix should be ~. However, this is certainly not the case. Either the INSTALL doc needs to be updated or a new default config.mak.autogen needs to be checked in (or perhaps config.mak.autogen needs to be omitted from the repo?). --Ted -- Ted Pavlic
