Hi,

I think there's sort of a bug in the configury:

if test "x$prefix" = "xNONE"; then prefix=$ac_default_prefix pidfiledir="/var/run" else pidfiledir="${prefix}/var/run" fi

This evaluation of the pidfiledir does not take the defaults of autoconf into account. The pidfiledir should rather always default to

pidfiledir="${localstatedir}"

instead of fiddeling with the prefix itself. Does that make sense?

Well, it may make sense, I find autoconf very limited when it comes to stuff like pid file directories. I simply find it odd, that I cannot define application specific directories, and I don't find --with-pidfile-dir option very pausible either. It should be possible to define additional directories, but it is not. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, I've pushed a patch makes this change. -- Bazsi
