Oh, please, not again. Why does the solution always present itself  
after you press send...


Anyway, I got the same results with 5.4.10, so I checked /etc/passwd.  
Lo and behold, the home directory was set to /home/vpopmail/vpopmail.  
After changing this all was well.


Sorry.

[vchkpw] (5.4.13) ./configure insists on installing in /home/vpopmail/vpopmail

I want to install vpopmail in /home/vpopmail. As with previous  
installs with older version, I was expecting a directory structure  
like /home/vpopmail/{bin,doc,domains,etc}, instead I received a  
directory structure like /home/vpopmail/vpopmail/ 
{bin,doc,domains,etc} (note the doubling of vpopmail in the path).


I used the following line to configure vpopmail:

./configure --disable-rebuild-tcpserver-file --enable-qmail-ext -- 
enable-auth-module=mysql --enable-mysql-limits --enable-sql-logging -- 
enable-valias --prefix=/home


After it finishes, it tells me:

vpopmail directory = /home/vpopmail/vpopmail

I also tried without --prefix and HOME=/home ./configure ... --prefix= 
$HOME to no avail.


How can I get the result I expected?
