Pidgin IM / Discussion / Users Helping Users: --prefix flag being ignored gaim2b6 Solaris

Dear all:

for some reason, gaim 2.0b6 seems to ignore my --prefix flag.

It compiled without problem, but when it comes to installation, it got error message of "Could not make directory
'/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/...' "

I am on Solaris 10 SPARC without any root access.

what can I do to get around it?

Thanks

Harv
