     Hi all,
     
     I'm looking to package PSPP for ArchLinux (well, upload instructions
     to the Arch User Repository), which generally doesn't make use of
     /usr/etc. Therefore, I've tried passing ./configure the
     --sysconfdir=/etc option, which went fine--everything built and
     installed with no problems. 
     
     Unfortunately, on startup the command-line pspp (as opposed to
     psppire) informs me that it can't find the files that normally go in
     the usr/etc dir...it seems the paths are hardcoded.
     
     Does anybody here know of a way around this, and/or would it be
     productive in this case to file a bug report (i.e., is this
     intentional behavior?)


The --sysconfdir flag works fine for me.

Check the value of default_config_path in src/libpspp/version.c
If it's not what you expect.  Delete that file, and run make install
again.
