That's what I was wondering, but what if I'm a user that didn't compile the program (my admin did) and he has told me if I want the samples to just install them in a local directory of my own. I then run configure with --prefix=~/dx? If I sed it off, then the two directories java (which the user may already use for something else) and samples will be the installation point--not dx/java:dx/samples.
Let me know if the likelihood of this happening is so minute not to worry about it. Or if you want me to not sed off a dx when --prefix is set.
