The problem is that I am not sure if such thing as a "correct" default path even exist. IMHO the whole prefix based approach is a crutch which solves the problem in the wrong place. If you want to keep a "pure" Unix system hierarchy (which is my intention) you should try to keep all elements on the place where they are expected. This means no additional appendizes just because it is technically opportune. If I wanted a unclean file system, I could change to DarwinPorts or Fink ;) Regards Dirk -- gentoo-osx@gentoo.org mailing list
