Subject: gnats/240: Top-level configure doesn't create proper Makefile for subdirectories, ignoring --prefix?

>Description:
It seems that the configure script ignores my provided --prefix, and if I check ./gnats/Makefile, it shows that it assumes GNATS_ROOT=/usr/lib/gnats/gnats-db. This is very annoying, since the documentation tells me that this should be /opt/SKF/share/gnats/gnats-db (since my prefix=/opt/SKF).

Why is this? I think I remember the bug present as much as a year ago, and it screws up the entire installtion process.

Best regards.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try configuring gnats with a non-default prefix.
