Re: External filter question

[Stephan Hegel <stephan hegel gmx de>]

Hi D Bera,

Thanks a lot, that's it.

It should be fixed since external-filters is installed into
    /usr/local/etc/beagle
with "make install" but finally it is looking for it in
    /usr/local/etc
. Given that the prefix is /usr/local.

At least it should be consistent.

Kind regards,
  Stephan.
