INSTALL.md says: By default all files are installed under /usr/local. Open vSwitch also expects to find its database in /usr/local/etc/openvswitch by default. If you want to install all files into, e.g., /usr and /var instead of /usr/local and /usr/local/var and expect to use /etc/openvswitch as the default database directory, add options as shown here: `% ./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc` _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
