I'm talking about when I compile it myself and specify --prefix to configure
like any other gnu/autoconf'd package.
tia[root][18:37][/opt/src/pcp-2.2.1]# ./configure --help | grep prefix
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
[same as prefix]
--program-prefix=PREFIX prepend PREFIX to installed program names

yes I did hack up the pcp.conf.in and it ended up giving me an error during the
install because it couldn't copy somewhere. I didn't have time to dig into
the problem.
