dunno if it just me, but I had to add PREFIX a few places to get 'perl INSTALL_BASE=$HOME' to work
That will cause the files to be installed into a place that ikiwiki doesn't look for them. It will also cause them to be installed into /usr/etc by default, where ikiwiki also won't find them.
Thomas Keller also ran into some sort of problem with the MacPort involving the installation into /etc. From that discussion:
Both ikiwiki-update-wikilist and ikiwiki-mass-rebuild hardcode /etc; so do several pages in the doc wiki.
The real problem though is that MakeMaker does not have a standard way of specifying where /etc files go. In Debian we want everything to go into /usr, rather than the default /usr/local, so set PREFIX=/usr -- but we still want config files in /etc, not /usr/etc. The only way I can see around this is to add a nonstandard variable to control the location of /etc, that would override the PREFIX.
Which implies that you can't just use "$installdir/etc/" in the /etc hardcoding scripts, and would instead need to record the new variable at build time, like PREFIX is recorded in $installdir.
Instead, let's ignore failure of the lines. done
