#1644: OS X: Files are installed outside of --prefix
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: Sharpie | Owner: grass-dev@…
     Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.4.3
Component: Installation | Version: 6.4.2
Keywords: | Platform: Unspecified
      Cpu: Unspecified |
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Building GRASS 6.4.2. When running `make install` GRASS __always__ tries
to place a symlink in `/Library/Documentation/Help` which is owned by
root.

This completely hoses non-privileged local installs.

Suggestion:

   - Remove lines 307 and 308 from the top level Makefile---or at least
make this action conditional on a configuration option.

Comment(by neteler):

The hardcoded path in
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4/Makefile#L308
should likely be changed.
