PHP 4.0 Bug #5046: Install tries to put stuff in /usr/local even when --prefix is specified

From: jleffler@informix.com Operating system: Solaris 7 PHP version: 4.0.0 Release PHP Bug Type: Installation problem Bug description: Install tries to put stuff in /usr/local even when --prefix is specified configure line: ./configure --prefix=/usr/php/v4.0.0 --with-mysql=/usr/mysql --with-apxs=/usr/apache/v1.3.12/bin/apxs --with-informix --with-exec-dir=/usr/php/v4.0.0/bin Note that the addition of --with-exec-dir is symptomatic of the problem. The configure.in script sets the location of the php.ini file around line 412. It gets around to looking at --prefix around line 677. That might not matter if /usr/local is locally controlled, but on my machine, it is an NFS automounted readonly file system with only archaic stuff on it. Please can you upgrade the script to ensure that everything is keyed off the user define prefix very early in the configure.in code! And testing with an empty read-only /usr/local directory hierarchy is an exceptionally good discipline for finding this sort of problem.
