However, I am a compTIA Linux+ Certified person with about 15 years or longer experience. I am aware of autogen.sh and have already run it. It runs just fine and given time all is OK. If I give it a .configure --prefix --exec-prefix it always gives me a complete build. I then type "make -n install" to wash where it puts files. It then puts all of the binaries in /bin. So, something is causing it to drop --exec-prefix=/usr in front of /bin or added to ${bindir}. I have heard this is a autoconf version problem. I can send you a copy of my ./brlcad-conf-it file if you would like it It just saves me bad memory and typing.
