Installation of git into home directory

[Markus Becker <mab comnets uni-bremen de>]

Hi,

I would like to have the distribution NetworkManager in the usual places on the disc and at the same time have a git NetworkManager in my home directory installed. (And the same for nm-applet.)

I was trying:
./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/mab/install/usr --sysconfdir=/home/mab/install/etc --localstatedir=/home/mab/install/var

and

./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/mab/install/usr --sysconfdir=/home/mab/install/etc --localstatedir=/home/mab/install/var --libdir=/home/mab/install/lib

Both times it tries to install something into /lib:
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/lib/udev/rules.d/77-nm-olpc-mesh.rules': Permission denied

Isn't this the supposed in-home-directory procedure? Or is $(LIBDIR) missing somewhere in the scripts?

Thanks,
Markus
