That's the top of the tree for installs, so binariexz go in $PREFIX/bin, man pages in $PREFIX/man, and so on. However, changing the PREFIX for just one port isn't very safe - you really should make them *all* install with the same PREFIX, which you do by setting LOCALBASE in /etc/make.conf. Even then, some ports will break for one reason or another because they don't handle the change properly. > for example i want bash2 port to install to /bin and not /usr/local/bin > thanks . # cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2 # PREFIX=/ make clean install In the case of bash2, it's best just to copy - or link, if the two are on the same file system - the binary to /bin. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
