Or at least put instructions in the INSTALL file that the trailing / 
when specifying --prefix should NOT be there.

Well, there also isn't any clear indication of error. I was searching 
the log for the 'error' keyword (always clearly displayed by make in 
case of error) and none was found in the context that should indicate 
any error. The make exited with status 0.

How was I supposed to know: a) that any error happened at all, and b) 
WHERE and WHAT (in several hundred kb log file) to look for the error 
unless I knew where the error was in which case I wouldn't have asked 
the question in the first place. (Reading the whole log is of course out 
of the question). It's easy for Thomas since he's built the distribution 
and knows what to search for based solely on the symptoms.

Thomas, thanks very much for help, but I must say that the installation 
procedure is not as straightforward as INSTALL suggests. _Espeacially_ 
the part 'check the make log for errors'.
