I think you may be confusing the Star distribution and the compiler. The Star distribution has a --prefix option, but the compiler does not. However, I just tried --prefix with my Star tarball and Configure.pl failed to detect the parrot_config after installing Parrot. So, that's a bug to be fixed for the next release. The "--gen-parrot-prefix" option is available for the compiler's Configure.pl to supply a prefix whenever a new Parrot is being built via "--gen-parrot". But again, for Rakudo Star we expect people to simply use --prefix. Pm
