Well, I just built the package again, and:

root at deltree:/opt/src/xxx/leafnode# tar xzf leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20080904a-i486-1_SBo.tgz
root at deltree:/opt/src/xxx/leafnode# ls -l
total 456
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root     72 2008-10-19 03:27 etc/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    112 2008-10-19 03:27 install/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 466579 2008-10-19 03:27 leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20080904a-i486-1_SBo.tgz
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root    144 2008-10-19 03:27 usr/
drwxrwx--- 3 root root     72 2008-10-19 03:27 var/

Guess I'll install from source.  Did I mention somewhere this is on 
slack-11.0?  Sorry if I forgot that.

Suspect:  '--localstatedir=/var \' on line 68??  I haven't checked the source.


Grant.
