| 6 | <para>Before installing the Gawk package you have to apply a patch,
|

|

| 10 | <listitem><para>Gawk's default location for libexecdir is <filename

|

| 12 | comply with FHS (which never mentions a directory called
|
|---|
| 13 | libexecdir).</para></listitem>

| 14 |
|

| 15 | <listitem><para>The patch allows us to pass
|
|---|
| 16 | <emphasis>--libexecdir</emphasis> to the configure script (without gawk
|
|---|
| 17 | tacking on /awk to the end), so that we can use a more appropriate location
|
|---|
| 18 | for gawk's libexecdir (<filename class="directory">/usr/bin</filename> in
|

|

| 22 | class="directory">$prefix/share/awk</filename>. A package specific
|

| 23 | directory should be named using the package and version (like gawk-3.1.3
|
|---|
| 24 | instead of awk) because there may be more than one awk interpreter on a
|
|---|
| 25 | system (and more than one version of gawk). The patch changes this to

| 26 | <filename class="directory">$prefix/share/gawk-3.1.3</filename> to be more
