For now, I've worked around this problem by editing the configure script and replacing all occurences of {$prefix} with /usr/local (which is the default). But if that comes back to bite me down the road, or if I need to install scrollkeeper again, I'll use your patch. Thank you.

How come I'm the only one asking questions about installing Gnome 2.4 around here? Is everyone else just a lot better at this than I am?
Anyway, here's the latest problem: make install for scrollkeeper does a bunch of stuff, and then does this:
>>>
/bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/var/log
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin" ; \
echo "`date +\"%b %d %X\"` Installing ScrollKeeper `scrollkeeper-config --version`..." >> /usr/local/var/log/scrollkeeper.log
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin" ; \
/usr/local/bin/scrollkeeper-rebuilddb -q -p /usr/local/var/lib/scrollkeeper

It just does that forever. Apparently something isn't turning ${prefix} into whatever it's supposed to be. I searched a little and found a thread referencing this problem, and someone said they were fixing this and would put the updated tarballs online. But the scrollkeeper website has 0.3.12 as the latest version, and that's the same version I'm using, which I downloaded from the Gnome site.
Thi swill happen each time scrollkeeper-updatedb is run, and is caused by a problem in the configuration script in scrollkeeper.
You can apply the patch I posted in the scrollkeeper-devel list, which can be found at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5313573 I think it should apply cleanly to the current release.
This was apparently commited (see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5351410) but for some reason the released tarball for 2.4 did not include it.
HTH,
