I'm not sure if this is a bug, I configured --prefix=3D/usr/local, then "=
make=20
-n install" gives:

=2E..
cp -p -a plmodule.so /usr/local//usr/lib/python2.0//site-packages
cp -p -a pyqt_plmodule.so /usr/local//usr/lib/python2.0//site-packages

I have been looking at the distributed rpm specs files, and I found that =
they=20
specify /usr as the install point. Is this the default? Shouldn't users=20
install non-distro packages in /usr/local, if possible? It is the default=
 in=20
"configure".

I think to remember that you said the the java examples would stay under=20
lib/java/examples, to avoid setting CLASSPATH to two different directorie=
s.=20
Is this correct? and really necessary?
