The porters handbook says: > Make sure that make package can be run as a normal user (that is, not > as root) However, the default `PREFIX` is /usr/local, and a non-root user cannot install to this folder. Adjusting the PREFIX kind of fixes it (partially) but not fully, so I don't know if there's a problem with my port or what. Before I proceed should `make package`, with no prefix adjustment work for non-root users? Because I don't understand how it can. Any comments appreciated, thanks!
