Any binaries, documentation, manual, shared libraries, etc. are not put anywhere unless you do "make install" (and never has been). To have "make install" put everything under /var/cfengine, just add "--prefix=/var/cfengine" to your configure options.
As discussed a couple of times on the list now, the main reason for using shared libraries is efficiency (80% reduction of memory/disk size - which also leads to faster execution). So the question is then if one should try to give these improvements to everyone or just those that know about it (which doesn't seem to be many given the amount of times this has been brought up)... --Eystein On 02/12/2011 03:40 AM, Aleksey Tsalolikhin wrote: > On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 10:48 AM, Yared Berhanu<yar...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> greetings, >> >> now I have a working cfengine.
