[bug-sourceinstall] [bug #17375] Assume default prefix from source

[Claudio Fontana]

Update of bug #17375 (project sourceinstall):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info              
        Additional Notes:                         => > If I don't define a
prefix for sourceinstall and ran it as 
> root, it will assume something like prefix=/

The default prefix value for the root user is /usr/local .
Could you explain what you mean here?

> Of course I can change the prefix in Preferences but it 
> would be easier if I keep prefix value empty and use the 
> default prefix from the source I'm installing.

I will answer this at a later date, or I'll be late to work.

Thanks for your report - Claudio
