[Discuss-gnuradio] installation problems in non-standard directories

[Anastasopoulos Achilleas]

Hi there,

I am trying to install gnuradio in an environment where I do not have 
root priviledges, so 
everything has to go in my user space.

I went through the regular cycle using the ./configure 
--prefix=/n/wellington/x/anastas/local
so that everything is installed under my ~/local directory.

However make install (and make check) fail in "pmt" as follows:

make[5]: Entering directory 
`/net/wellington/x/anastas/gnuradio_trunk/pmt/src/lib'
test -z "/n/wellington/x/anastas/local//lib" || mkdir -p -- 
"/n/wellington/x/anastas/local//lib"
 /bin/sh ../../../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c  'libpmt.la' 
'/n/wellington/x/anastas/local//lib/libpmt.la'
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libpmt.so 
/n/wellington/x/anastas/local//lib/libpmt.so/usr/bin/install -c 
.libs/libpmt.lai /n/wellington/x/anastas/local//lib/libpmt.la
libtool: install: warning: remember to run `libtool --finish /usr/local/lib'
 /bin/sh ../../../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c 'libpmt-qa.la' 
'/n/wellington/x/anastas/local//lib/libpmt-qa.la'
libtool: install: error: cannot install `libpmt-qa.la' to a directory not 
ending in /usr/local/lib

It seems that libpmt-qa.la can only be installed in directories
ending with /usr/local/lib

Is this a feature or a bug?
any ideas how to resolve it?

Thanks
