[fuse-devel] make install to a local directory

[Nicholas R. <ni...@fb...>]

Hello,

I don't have root access on my workstation, so I am trying to install 
fuse to a local directory. I'm using fuse-2.8.5. I tried the following:

./configure --prefix=/malet0/ssi/ruiz/apps
make && make install

The install fails at this point:

make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.
make[2]: Leaving directory 
`/hardmnt/malet0/ssi/ruiz/software/fuse-2.8.5/lib'
make[1]: Leaving directory

Though I set a prefix, fuse is still trying to install to the /sbin/ 
directory, which I don't have root access to. How can I get it to 
install mount.fuse to /malet0/ssi/ruiz/apps/sbin?

Thanks for your help,
Nick
