Why not provide a database of the packages and the build/install options such as ./configure --prefix=/SuSE/path/to/install? Wouldn't this make it so
This information is available in the .spec file for each package. Now may I ask a possibly silly question? Where is this .spec file? If I am don't know where is the location of some installed SuSE package, how would I know where is the .spec file?
./configure invariably defaults to --prefix=/usr/local so I am learning. One package I updated recently even required a separate prefix setting for the include and lib directory in order to be where SuSE had that package
