Installation using prefix not availabe

It's there a way to install ejabbed on other location than default?

I see that
./configure --prefix=/some_path
have no effect.

Thanks,
Iulian Nastasache

I never tried --prefix, but

I never tried --prefix, but here are some tricks, perhaps they solve your problem temporarily:

If --prefix has no effect and you can't install on default directories due to privilege reasons, you can run ejabberd from the src/ directory without problems.

If you don't want to do 'make install' because there's no 'make uninstall', you may be interested in checkinstall.

fix

unpack ejabberd-1.0.0.tar.gz
open ejabberd-1.0.0/src/Makefile.in and change the line:
DESTDIR =
to
DESTDIR = @prefix@

build normally from this point.
