Currently it looks like $libdir gets overwritten by the hardcoded
values in configure.in. The following patch (against trunk) is
supposed to fix that:
Index: configure.in

Supposedly on x86_64 archs (and presumably powerpc as well), libdir
will expand correctly to $exec_prefix/lib64, however I can't test this
out. At any rate, if that does not work, passing --libdir to
./configure does work as expected now.
At any rate, I have tested the following cases and they all behave as
expected on x86:
1) ./configure (/usr/lib)
2) ./configure --prefix=/opt/ganglia (/opt/ganglia/lib)
3) ./configure --exec_prefix=/opt (/opt/lib)
4) ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64 (/usr/lib64)
If I can get confirmation that this is fine, I'll check this into
trunk and submit a backport proposal for 3.1.x. After this is checked
in I will tag/create RC1 tarball. I am thinking the frontend fixes
could wait until RC2 as it is not trivial to get everything to the way
I wanted, so I need to spend a little more time on it.
Cheers,
Bernard
