Description Patrick Williams 2006-11-19 22:29:44 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When installing memprof-0.6 package, the DESTDIR directive is ignored for the speedprof symbolic link.  Therefore, if an alternate install directory is used, the install fails because memprof does not exist in /usr/bin for the symlink.

I encountered this while trying to update the ebuild for Gentoo.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use alternate DESTDIR.
2. Attempt install of memprof.



Actual results:
Install fails.

Expected results:
Symbolic link for speedprof happens under alternate install directory.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Just confirming this.  The above DESTDIR change works fine
