Hi,

I'm trying to install deal.II to a system directory by using the --prefix 
option to the configure script.  Namely:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/deal.ii/7.0.0

(The use of 'Cellar' is because I'm on Mac OS X and am trying to use homebrew 
to manage the installation.  Though the below error occurs even if I run 
configure directly with a prefix set.)

The configure script seems to work okay, but when I go to 'make all', I get:

  make[1]: *** No rule to make target 
`/usr/local/Cellar/deal.ii/7.0.0/common/Make.global_options', needed by 
`make_dependencies'.  Stop.

In other words, the generated Makefile seems to be trying to use the 
installation prefix to find files that are actually located in the source 
hierarchy.  I guess by default this doesn't break because the default prefix is 
set to the current working directory.

I get the same error if I try to set a prefix under Linux.

Thanks for any help,
  Braden
