Hi folks, just noticed that RC3 build seems to insist on installing slon and 
slonik in /usr/bin. This is despite the ./configure default of /usr/local, 
and even happens if you explicitly tell it where to install with ./configure 
--prefix=/usr/local:

make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/slony1-1.1.5-rc3/src/slon'
/bin/sh /tmp/slony1-1.1.5-rc3/config/mkinstalldirs /usr/bin/
/bin/sh /tmp/slony1-1.1.5-rc3/config/install-sh -c -m 755 slon /usr/bin/
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/slony1-1.1.5-rc3/src/slon'
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/slony1-1.1.5-rc3/src/slonik'
/bin/sh /tmp/slony1-1.1.5-rc3/config/mkinstalldirs /usr/bin/
/bin/sh /tmp/slony1-1.1.5-rc3/config/install-sh -c -m 755 slonik /usr/bin/

I do have PostgreSQL 8.1.1 installed from RPMs, though can't see that this 
would affect configure.

In Makefile.global, prefix is /usr/local, but slonbindir is /usr/bin. I think 
the cause is this (in configure):

#-- if test ${prefix} = "NONE"; then
SLONBINDIR="${PG_BINDIR}"
#-- else
#--   SLONBINDIR="${prefix}/bin"
#-- fi
SLONBINDIR=$SLONBINDIR

I'm guessing this is a bug? 

Regards, Philip.
