It's already in the .RTFD file 
(http://luaforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21) but I'll place 
a JPEG at the same address. Does it work for you?

Hmm.. imho, the common OS X way of doing this _is_ exactly as I 
proposed.  Tastes differ? :)  Perhaps many *ix applications are just 
not up to this easiness, yet? ;P

This happens now:

        [iMac:Sources/paragui-cvs/paragui-works] asko% make install
        Making install in include
        make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
        mkdir -p -- . /sw/include/paragui
	 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 paraconfig_gnu.h 
/sw/include/paragui/paraconfig_gnu.h
        install: /sw/include/paragui/paraconfig_gnu.h: Permission denied
         /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 paragui.h /sw/include/paragui/paragui.h
        install: /sw/include/paragui/paragui.h: Permission denied
                ...lots of errors...

This then:

        [iMac:Sources/paragui-cvs/paragui] asko% make install
        sudo make install-recursive
        Password: *****

Of course, it _is_ also possible to install stuff to your local 
folders, which wouldn't require admin rights.  However, this would 
mostly be an issue for OS X servers & stuff? Not for things s.a. 
ParaGUI.

Hmm.. so we can't change it?   Then the use of the 
'--prefix=/usr/local' should be noted in an OS X readme file, right?
