I was just testing the dmg install on a Mac G5 running Mac OS X 10.4 . I do find it a touch odd that if I choose a directory ($dir) for install that it places it in $dir/usr. This means that if I want to do an install into /usr/local I get a /usr/local/ usr/bin. That doesn't seem quite right. I haven't tried bundling my own package yet.

That will be fixed in 2.6 but the fixes for that are too large for the 2.4.8 branch. But, the /usr/local thing is really sort of bad. I will look into seeing if some "hack" can be put on the branch to get around this....

Bill, having worked with packagemaker before I believe this is a simple fix. Who ever is packaging cmake should NOT use /usr as the root, but pack the bin/ share/ loose in the package. That way when someone selects /usr/local or even /usr the proper structure is built/ used.
