Thanks Peter, now I found it.
But I'm still perplexed: I think that a software package should fully
respect the prefix it is given at configuration time.
Think about the most common GNU+Linux distributions: they usually put
package files as managed by their package systems under the /usr tree and
leave /usr/local for software built locally, for example using the
autotools (which in fact use /usr/local as default prefix).
What do you think about modifying this? Could it break something else?
Warmly,
Andrea Monaco
