not having gotten an answer for my other message on the list,
I dare to ask again on this thread:

--prefix seems not to be honored by the current
configuration/installation system:

    $ cd ~/tmp
    $ git clone git://github.com/jwiegley/ledger.git
    $ cd ledger
    $ ./acprep --prefix=/opt/ledger opt update
    ...
    [building is smooth, no problems here]
    ...
    $ make install

    **********
    should try to copy files to /opt/ledger/...
    does instead try to copy files to /usr/local/lib/ etc.
    and results in an error message here because
    of permission problems, luckily that is, because
    I don't want my /usr/local/lib cluttered up.
    **********

    $ make install
    [ 87%] Built target libledger
    [ 91%] Built target ledger
    [ 98%] Built target MathTests
    [100%] Built target UtilTests
    Install the project...
    -- Install configuration: "Release"
    -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/libledger.a
    CMake Error at src/cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE):
      file INSTALL cannot copy file "/home/reuleaux/tmp/ledger/src/libledger.a"
      to "/usr/local/lib/libledger.a".
    Call Stack (most recent call first):
      cmake_install.cmake:37 (INCLUDE)


    make: *** [install] Error 1

Any ideas?
