Reuben Thomas - 2008-11-13

In install.sh and uninstall.sh, I added the following lines at the top:

prefix="$1"
[ "$prefix" = "" ] && prefix="/usr/local"

and replaced "/usr" with $prefix in the rest of the scripts.

Now I can go e.g.

sudo ./install.sh /usr

(/usr/local is a better default).

  You're right, the install script should probably offer a prefix switch, and use /usr/local as a default.
  
  Please note that the install.sh needs to modify bashrun in that case, since bashrun includes one hardcoded path on line 33:
  
  BASHRC=/usr/share/bashrun/bashrc
  
  (You didn't explicitly mention whether you did this or not)
  
  I'll consider it for the next release.
  Thanks for the input,
  Henning
