Re: [opendx-dev] DXSamples (bad Makefiles.am or bad prefix)
That's what I was wondering, but what if I'm a user that didn't compile the program (my admin did) and he has told me if I want the samples to just install them in a local directory of my own. I then run configure with --prefix=~/dx? If I sed it off, then the two directories java (which the user may already use for something else) and samples will be the installation point--not dx/java:dx/samples. Let me know if the likelihood of this happening is so minute not to worry about it. Or if you want me to not sed off a dx when --prefix is set.

Sorry for the mixture of first and second person in that first paragraph. BAD BAD grammar.

Re: [opendx-dev] DXSamples (bad Makefiles.am or bad prefix)
OK, we need to find the dx installation to pick up the configuration tidbits left behind so the sample java programs can compile. This is distinct from the installation prefix the samples could use. We can consult the Benevolent Dictator, but my impression was that the dx and dxsamples packaging was separate but ultimately intended to be installed together.
