Hi all,

I just talked PCP 2.7.4 into building on Mac OS X 10.5 and was
surprised to find that the --prefix argument to configure is
ignored.
Is this a known issue? Is there any change of this being addressed?

Contrary to my earlier comment, its not completely ignored - it is driven by AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT(/usr) in configure.in, and most/all of the install prefixes should be driven from this now. There was an issue with modern versions of autoconf, but IIRC that was worked around (by Ken and I, in my tree), not sure if that made it back into the SGI tree yet.

OK, I'll take a look at yr git tree and dig deeper if it's still not working right.


BTW, the patch below should help with your other issue - the
default "local" bin path setting on Mac...

diff --git a/src/include/pcp.env b/src/include/pcp.env

/opt/local/bin is installed by macports. I don't think it's a good idea to have it in the standard PCP $PATH.



do [ -d $dir ] || continue echo "$PATH" | egrep ":$dir(:|\$)" >/dev/null && continue


cheers.
