Summary: MGED unable to initialize gui when --program-prefix= is used
Initial Comment:
Hello,
I used --program-prefix=brl- , no compilation error, but:
$ brl-mged
invalid command name "gui"
MGED unable to initialize gui, reverting to classic mode.
attach (nu|X|ogl)[nu]?
If I remove the --program-prefix from ./configure I haven't this issue.
Giuseppe.

Yes, it's merely for isolation. I can install in /var/lib/brlcad , but I
have also a couple of man pages that I can't isolate due to Debian policy.
For example:
# dpkg -i brlcad_7.12.6-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package brlcad.
(Reading database ... 171137 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking brlcad (from brlcad_7.12.6-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing brlcad_7.12.6-1_i386.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/buffer.1.gz',
which is also in package buffer
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
brlcad_7.12.6-1_i386.deb

Message:
Hmm, that's certainly an untested configuration setting and one I would not
recommend using regardless. That effectively changes the names of hundreds
of binaries and makes them inconsistent with our extensive documentation.
That will ultimately be a support burden to document as a special case, to
explain to new users, and is inconsistent with all other platforms.
We could investigate the cause, but that doesn't seem like a productive
use of time. Is there a particular reason you needed to use
program-prefix? If it's merely for isolation, I would suggest installing
to subdirs before resorting to program-prefix.
Cheers!
Sean
