pkgadd - dont want to use /usr/local

[Alana0246]

Just wondering if anyone knows how to add a binary package (using pkgadd) into a directory other than /usr/local

i have my disk partitioned so that most of the space if on /export/home, but when i use pkgadd it goes into /usr/local which fills up that partition of the disk and i have to copy it across, which somewhere along the line it is going to scr*w up.

any help appreciated!!!

some executables are hardcoded to expect libs and other executables in /usr/local/... so it is not an easy job!

I suggest to create a /export/home/usr_local and link /usr/local to this directory
