           Summary: libprofile_rt.so installed correctly, but

           Product: Runtime Libraries
           Version: trunk
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

I configure llvm with

mkdir obj.llvm
cd obj.llvm
../svn.llvm/configure \
  --prefix=`pwd`/dist \
  ... (other options)

Later I wanted to install the profile libraries. I did:

cd obj.llvm/runtime
make install

and the following happened:

*** Install runtime
cd /usr/src/llvm/obj.llvm/runtime; make install
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/llvm/obj.llvm/runtime'
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/llvm/obj.llvm/runtime/libprofile'
llvm[2]: Installing Release Shared Library
/usr/src/llvm/dist/lib/libprofile_rt.so
mklib: install: warning: remember to run `mklib --finish
/usr/src/llvm/obj.llvm/Release/lib'
PATH="$PATH:/sbin" ldconfig -n /usr/src/llvm/dist/lib
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/src/llvm/dist/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
llvm[2]: Installing Release Bytecode Archive /lib/libprofile_rt.a
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/lib/libprofile_rt.a': Permission
denied
make[2]: *** [/lib/libprofile_rt.a] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/llvm/obj.llvm/runtime/libprofile'
make[1]: *** [libprofile/.makeinstall] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/llvm/obj.llvm/runtime'
make: *** [instrt] Error 2


As you can see, the installation of libprofile_rt.a didn't honor the --prefix
parameter.
