The "$pkgdir/" would have worked fine. (stupid moment). I was building in a tmp folder, but the copy of the PKGBUILD I had open was in the original gebc dir.... so the changes I made to the PKGBUILD were not made in the tmp dir I was building in -- I hate it when that happens.... No sed calls needed and the trailing "${pkgdir}/" was all that was needed. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
