That means all of these ports are not PREFIX-safe though, which is a bad thing. At the moment, for example, all of the core GNOME ports can be built with, for example: env PREFIX=/local/build make all install and they'll all go to the "right" place (under /local/build), rather than being scattered around everywhere. Especially with mega-ports such as KDE and GNOME, it's becoming increasingly more difficult to determine where the ports should install themselves (/usr/X11R6 vs /usr/local) and issues such as this one (aclocal) only serve to confuse things even more. For example, a substantial portion of the ports you mentioned can be "fixed" by me re-rooting all of GNOME under /usr/local (following KDE's lead) even though some parts of it link against against X11 libraries (and thus should be in /usr/X11R6). Which one is right? (That's an honest question, I'd really like to know). -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX.
