with prefix=/usr and DESTIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/wmcpuload you should get everything installed where appropriate. Note that /usr/X11R6/bin is deprecated. The binary should go into /usr/bin. The alternative is to add the /usr portion to the prefix for *install only*, i.e. $(MAKE) install prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/wmcpuload/usr but in the case where DESTDIR's supported, this may be suboptimal (if you have config files in /etc you'll probably have to specify sysconfdir=$(CURDIR)/debian/wmcpuload/etc, files in /var you'll need to set another variable, so on so forth). So DESTDIR is really the way to go. -- Mike Markley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG: 0x3B047084 7FC7 0DC0 EF31 DF83 7313 FE2B 77A8 F36A 3B04 7084 Youth doesn't excuse everything. - Dr. Janice Lester (in Kirk's body), "Turnabout Intruder", stardate 5928.5.
