I agree that it's a bad idea to install in /usr for testing. But I couldn't get it to work any other way! And it takes 1/2 hour on my machine (Athlon XP) to build from scratch (I'm not sure whether it's necessary to rebuild from scratch after changing prefix, but I did that to be on the safe side). If you or someone could tell me what I need to do, or point me to some instructions for deploying to a sandbox, I would be thrilled. Simply changing the path was not enough. I also tried changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Maybe I needed to change LD_LOAD_PATH to point to the sandbox copies before I built anything. Willing to accept whatever help you or others might offer.
