I was going to chime in and accept the guilt on this. I now realized that my destdir patches, which affected other users, didn't help us (One-Click Installer developers) in the long run. The thing is that prefix on Windows should be /, so next build of OCI is going to use that and destdir properly. I assume --destdir will use prefix on which ruby was built, and not imposing /usr somehow, correct? -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.
