Anyway, the directory tree that ports get installed under is known as the $PREFIX, and defaults to /usr/local. A port isn't allowed to change the install prefix (because the user might change it), Someone using this port of yours could do a "make PREFIX=/home/user install" to place it under their homedir, if that's something you want to look into. -- -Chuck
