<listitem><para><userinput>--exec-prefix=/</userinput>: This causes the

binaries to be installed in <filename>/bin</filename> and not in
|
|
<filename>/usr/bin</filename>. As the Psmisc programs are often used in
|
|
bootscripts, they should be available also when the <filename>/usr</filename>

<para>Compile the package:</para>

<para>And install it:</para>

|
<para>By default Psmisc's <userinput>pidof</userinput> program isn't installed.
|
|
Generally, this isn't a problem because we later install the Sysvinit package,
|
|
which provides a better <userinput>pidof</userinput> program. But if you're not
|
|
going to use Sysvinit, you should complete the installation of Psmisc by
|
|
creating the following symlink:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>ln -s killall /bin/pidof</userinput></screen>
