#20810: postgresql83 8.3.7 Why are all the executables in libdir? -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: apinstein@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- configure.args --sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc/${name} \ --bindir=${libdir}/bin \ After install the pgsql executables are all in /opt/local/lib/postgresql83/bin/psql instead of /opt/local/bin. This is pretty annoying since I have to add the pg-specific bin dir to my path. Why aren't these droppped into bin/? Is there a name conflict with executables from other ports? Do you want to preserve the ability to run multiple pg's side-by-side? I would be OK with that decision but at least you should provide a variant to directly install the executables into the bin dir. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20810> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
