Quagga is the routing software, so since 5.X I'm trying to use rcorder
to properly start it (because other NETWORKING functions may depend on
it). With make install we have no problems, because we always have
${PREFIX} available, but with pkg_add we haven't or I'm misunderstanding
something. And with pkg_add I want to install scripts under ${PREFIX}
user supplied to follow his wishes. I know about ${PKG_PREFIX} and
trying to use right one. If I use hardcoded %%CWD_TRICK%% this is
impossible (imho).

Hmm... still misunderstand You.. May You give a quick example?

I'm talking about make package and I don't know any variables which may
help me. If I'm wrong please point me :) I want to be a guru :) And
always listen to a guru
