[Mono-dev] Bug in configure script of gtksourceview-sharp

[Alexander M. Batishchev]

Hi Ivan,
Yea, you're of course right about default prefix as /usr/local and ability to change it with --prefix.
But /gtksourceview-sharp-0.x/./configure --prefix=/usr/local tells a path of gtksourceview-sharp installation and it doesn't connected with /gtk-sharp/./configure --prefix=/usr
I mean gtksourceview-sharp configure script must to find gtk# installation path automatically, but it does not (!) and always supposes it as /usr/local even if its /usr

This is not wrong at all. It is standard practice for source code
distribution to default to the /usr/local prefix. This is done in
order to avoid breaking your system. If you know what you are doing
then you can change that by changing the prefix - ./configure
--prefix=/usr .
