NEURON has somewhat [http://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/download/compilestd_osx#ivandnrn unusual installation habits]. The default prefix for source installations and binary installers is /Applications/NEURON/iv. Coming from a previous installation, users will expect neuron-iv to reside in NEURON's application directory rather than in ${prefix}.
Maybe you could install to `${prefix}` and symlink into `${applications_dir}`?
Given that none of neuron-iv's headers, binaries and libraries will be used by any port other than NEURON, wouldn't it be cleaner ''not'' to install anything in ${prefix}? This would also avoid any potential file naming collisions. See original post why neuron-iv still needs to be a separate port. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40457#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
