PREFIX is simply the path that you want everything to be installed under. The default of PREFIX is usually /usr/local (so that PREFIX/bin would be /usr/local/bin), but if you want it to be in /usr/bin, then set PREFIX to /usr. This is done in the configure phase of the build process. E.g.,
./configure --prefix=/usr
PREFIX is also used to set other paths, such as PREFIX/lib, PREFIX/share... if the program makes use of those.
Ti, Charles, John, Joe, etc. Thanks for all of the help and explanation provided. This is a great list. Finally got the arts_output installed. Had to do it from the CLI though. Ti, Thanks for the explanation. Appreciated. Learning every day Bob S.
