The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Dan Delaney <address@concealed>]

Hello all. I'm just now installing Sympa. (Been using Mailman for years 
and Sympa looks like it does a lot that I always wanted Mailman to do.) 
I was reading through the manual and read the page about directory 
organization (www.sympa.org/doc/html/node3.html#organization). It 
indicates that everything should go into a folder at 
/usr/local/sympa-stable, which makes perfect sense and is congruent with 
most other open source, autoconf-based application (such as Apache). Yet 
if I just do ./configure it seems to default to putting everything into 
/home/sympa, which is unlike any other app out there. Why does the 
manual state one thing but the configure program do something completely 
different?

Thanks
