Re: [gambit-list] 4.0b20 and later not respecting --prefix=

4.0b22 doesn't seem to be respecting --prefix= at install. I looked through the makefile and notice that there is a PACKAGE_SUBDIR (/ 4.0b22) appended to prefix.

Indeed. I noticed the same thing last week when I created the MacPorts configuration for 4.0b20 [1].

Is there a way to work around this?

I worked around it with lots of regex substitutions for each makefile in the distribution. Not pretty, but does the job. You could use the `sed' command to manually perform the substitutions in a similar manner as done in the MacPorts portfile [2].
