The config file path gets compiled into htsearch. This is a security=20
feature. If htsearch is looking in /opt/www/conf, then either you=20
either have multiple copies htsearch installed and the wrong one is=20
being selected or your attempt to specify --prefix didn't take for some=20=

reason. If you still have your config.status file laying around, you=20
can double check the arguments that you provided to configure. I=20
suppose it is also possible that configure is somehow broken in your=20
copy of the configure script, but  that isn't very likely.
