Hi, Ok, I see, it is high time distros stopped just dumping stuff in one directory, but that gripe is OT for this list :) On my machine it looks like debian configured it with prefix=/usr datadir=/usr/share/asciidoc sysconfdir=/etc/asciidoc But they must also have changed progsymlink to rename and not link the "executables" asciidoc and a2x since they are python files without an extension (bad Karma there too :( Good luck.
