[Discuss-gnuradio] Installing under /usr

[Marcus D. Leech]

I have a client/customer who has a machine where /usr/local isn't 
writable (it's a network mount point), but the local disk
  infrastructure is writeable by local root.

I've tried doing an install of Gnu Radio using:

./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr

Then:

make

sudo make install

The install fails inside libtool for libgnuradio-core due to a 
"permission denied" error:

test -z "/usr/lib" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/lib"
 /bin/sh ../../../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c   
libgnuradio-core.la '/usr/lib'

libtool: install: error: relink `libgnuradio-core.la' with the above

Any hints about how to make it all install nicely under /usr ?
