Hi,

Although I really appreciate SlackBuilds and all the work that goes into them and the efforts of everyone working on SlackBuilds I have one problem that I just can't get my head around -- how do I install a SlackBuild where I want to other than in the root tree?

For example, I need NetCDF for use with the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT). I have always installed both GMT and NetCDF in /opt (they're both big and I don't want 'em in the root tree). That is also true of, say, OpenOffice -- or LibreOffice -- I don't want that stuff in the root, I want it in /opt.

I've tried editing the SlackBuild (changing "usr" to "opt") and have had messy failures doing that; is the some easy way to specify the installation directory? Have I just missed something really, really basic?

Thanks.
