I have read it, but obviously I've missed something. I'm not the first to have done so. see below: >On Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 06:50, Matthias Schwarzott <zzam@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> The gentoo package now calls configure with these params: >> --prefix=/ --includedir=/usr/include >Huh?

For example, earlier today I found that the configure defaults put /dev in /usr/local/dev which essentially killed my system because no /dev/ttyS0 was created and I couldn't log in. It was argued that this is good for debugging udev. So the configure defaults are setup for debugging. OK, fair enough. I then set prefix to '/' and found that this put /dev where it should have been. So why doesn't the INSTALL file for --prefix say that this is also the root location for "/dev"? My point is, telling me to read INSTALL doesn't help if the document is unclear.
