I would go with the global prefix, /usr/local. 85% of configure has the /usr/local by default and FreeBSD already has /usr/local (to kill the colour discussions), so all we have to do is remove /usr/X11R6. Before you ask how we can test if the port is respect the prefix, we should be able to find out very easy when you work with pkg-plist by follow the porter handbook. BTW: FreeBSD doesn't has to be weird. :-) Cheers, Mezz > Cheers, -- mezz7@cox.net - mezz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gnome@FreeBSD.org
