Re: Core-utils 7.2; building only 'su'

[Douglas Held]

from the ./configure documentation it seems like --prefix=/foo would
be preferred to destdir.

But back on topic, I will try this again and double check whether this
is user error.  I had been building as non root and 'su'ing before
'make install', so there's a big possibility of a PATH mixup I
suppose.
