Summary: Inconsistent default install hierarchy
Original Submission: Where should we install i18n files?
ex: /usr/share/locale
ex: /usr/local/share/locale
[/usr/share/locale]:
As everything is, by default, installed under /usr/local, I'd expect the
locales to be installed in /usr/local/share/locale by default.

I guess I'll learn some more gettext, as well as some autotools, and then
'strike back' :)

In fact, in the past, it was behaving more "consistently", but I never found a
system handling gettext + php in /usr/local. I'm not aware of all aspects of
this problem. But the wisest choice would probably be to submit bug to distros.
Installing Savane proves to be traumatic experience. I am reluctant to any
moves making it more harder, even if it costs us some inconsistencies.
But, by the way, I think the configure script should use getopt and be
non-interactive by default. It means we could add an extra test for this
specific thing, and override the /usr/local if does not seems to make sense
(and warning the admin about the issue). I think this approach would be more
sensible than just breaking the stuff for anybody out there (we have to draw
the line between what is ideal theoretically and what is ideal in the current
reality). What do you think?

I don't think I agree. That is encouraging this broken gettext configuration. I
would rather set /usr/local as default, and maybe adding a note for people
unfortunate enough to run a misconfigured distro saying to install in /usr.

You are right, it would be more logical to install locales with prefix
/usr/local
Unfortunately, on most GNU/Linux systems it just wont works because gettext is
not set up to look there, hence the inconsistency.
