Sounds like it's working for you now. I guess the "ease of use" tradeoff here is that we currently run configure automatically from the Makefile, while in you case it would have been more helpful to stop and say "hey, run configure" ___ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-le...@notmuchmail.org

It was that after ./configure had failed to find some of the build deps and asked me to sudo apt-get install libxapian-dev libgmime-3.0-dev libtalloc-dev zlib1g-dev I did not run configure again, I just went straight to make.

configure prefix ignored by make install
I just ran ./configure --prefix=/tmp/notmuch make sudo make install It clobbered /usr/local instead of installing to the prefix. ___ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-le...@notmuchmail.org
