That's exactly my point. bsd.port.mk says that LOCALBASE is where non-X11
ports install things and PREFIX is where *this* port installs things. What
I meant to say is that in some ports s,/usr/local/${PREFIX}, isn't right,
because it may be checking for something that was installed by another port.
For example, webgliplse:
RUN_DEPENDS+= ${PREFIX}/etc/apache/httpd.conf:${PORTSDIR}/www/apache13
It seems to me that that should be LOCALBASE, not PREFIX.
Thoughts?
