READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. This is the text from the install script: install_root_prompt="the prefix for installed file names. Specify this ONLY if you are building ready-to-install packages for distribution to other machines." See the AAAREADME file, which I would highly recommend if you intend to install Postfix from source code. See the INSTALL file, which I would highly recommend if you intend to install Postfix from source code. >So, yes, this happens when one follows the build procedure, but >provides a non-default install_root. This happens when one uses the available procedure WITHOUT READING THE INSTRUCTIONS. Wietse
