Re: [Pan-users] Trying to build pan 0.13.3 from source on RH 7.3

[Jeff Vian]

This is referenced in the configure script as 
"ac_default_prefix=/usr/local" in many packages.

To override the default you can  run configure with "--prefix=/usr" (or 
any other directory name of your choice) and it will set up the Makefile 
to install into the listed directory

THIS IS NOT A BUG.
Instead it is a standard install tool option.
