But install should not touch /usr/local/bin/ when the prefix is not /usr/local? As a very minor remark: on my Ubuntu machine wget-1.15 ends "make check" with 78 tests were run 64 PASS, 0 FAIL 14 SKIP, 0 UNKNOWN while wget-1.16 ends with # TOTAL: 83 # PASS: 69 # SKIP: 0 # XFAIL: 0 # FAIL: 14 # XPASS: 0 # ERROR: 0 The 14 tests that are not run for wget-1.15 are Test-ftp-iri* and Test-idn* and Test-iri*, except for Test-iri-disabled.px which succeeds. These same 14 tests fail on wget-1.16. Andries
