I had a need to build and install libpfm4 recently and found some unexpected behavior:
1) On my Intel Sandybridge/RHEL 6.3 system, 'make install' put the header files and pfm* man pages in the expected locations in /usr/local. However, the libpfm library files (which were built as 64-bit binaries) were placed in /usr/local/lib instead of the expected /usr/local/lib64. 2) On an IBM POWER7/RHEL 6.3 system, 'make install' again put the header files and pfm* man pages in the expected locations in /usr/local, but the libpfm library files were put in /lib64! 3) On the POWER7 system, I wanted to install into a private subdirectory of my home dir so as not to cause any possible problems with my installation being visible to other users. However, I could not figure out a clean way to do this. I expected to be able to use the PREFIX variable with make, but it didn't work. I have put together a 2-patch series to address these issues, which I will post to this list. Thanks in advance for your consideration. -Maynard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
