Not all packages assign /usr/local as an auto prefix. There are some, such as alsa-libs, for example, that automatically assign the prefix as /(root) rather than /usr. Most however most packages will default to /usr/local by default due to the FHS standards, and general practice. Mostly you'll find /usr/local used in BSD distributions rather than GNU/Linux systems. -Kenny -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
