Shorewall users - Jun 2008 - install.sh and PREFIX

Hi all,

I''m trying to install shorewall (4.0.10.1) on my Linksys WRT350N
running
dd-wrt v2.4 (linux kernel 2.4.35). The root file system is in nvram and is
not writeable, but I have a hard drive mounted on /opt with a bunch of
packages from the "optware" nslu2 distribution.

I ran the install.sh script with PREFIX=/opt. This correctly installed the
files in the right place, but it seems that the shorewall scripts still look
for things in /usr/share and /etc/shorewall, etc, even if you set
CONFIG_PATH. I have

CONFIG_PATH=/opt/etc/shorewall:/opt/usr/share/shorewall

but it seems the paths are hardcoded in many places. I looked around the
documentation for installation instructions that address this issue, but
couldn''t find anything. Is there a document that addresses this?

Regards,

/Patrik

The PREFIX variable in the installer is for the benefit of package managers 
like RPM and dpkg. There has never been any intention that Shorewall could 
be installed and run in an arbitrary directory.
