By default, the configure->make->make install steps create a distribution with the absolute prefix path (specified by -prefix) burnt into many of the binaries. Is there a way to configure the software so that the generated openldap system can be easily copied to and run on another machine (after modifying the conf files), without needing to run the same series of steps again? The location where this distribution could be copied to would vary from machine to machine.
I move my stuff around all the time without problems. What specific path failures are you seeing?
