is this still an issue with 1.0.6.14 ?

Yes, problem is still unsolved (1.0.6.14-1).

Is this still relevent?
Comment by Martin B. (borx) - Sunday, 07 December 2008, 15:33 GMT
Yes, it's still broken (1.0.7-1). I'm sorry that I almost forgotten about this issue,
because I didn't use this software for a long time.

I looked for string "$prefix" in source code and it seems to be a upstream mistake in a
configure script, because the variable $prefix is not used in other files (btw prefix
is initialized by passing --prefix=/usr to a configure script so archlinux packagers imho didn't make
any mistake).

Please write back if you agree with my conclusion for me to post a bug report to texmacs developers.

BTW in Arch, this can be easily fixed by patching the resulting script /usr/bin/fig2ps (I know, it _is_ ugly, but
then it will work until someone fix this in upstream :-)
