No, libgeotiff (right up to the current 1.3.0 release candidate) uses standard autoconf, and therefore its standard install location is /usr/local/{include,bin,share}.Package maintainers for linux always change the install directory with --prefix-/usr to override the default --prefix=/usr/local. Apparently the new trend is to further stuff headers for dev-packages into subdirectories (presumably to satisfy some other goal, maybe to keep differing packages from potentially clobbering each other). But this is 100% a package-maintainer thing that has nothing to do with what libgeotiff's makefiles would have done.
Verified. Change backed out. This is getting annoying to me that the Linux package maintainers are not only diverging from accepted practices but also diverging in different directions. C'est la vie. Thanks for keeping us on the narrow track Tom, it's appreciated. -- Curt, WE7U. <http://www.eskimo.com/~archer> APRS: Where it's at! <http://www.xastir.org> Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
