Yes, when setting the prefix correctly. I doubt 'make install
--prefix=...' is intended to work and I doubt any application handles
this correctly.
And checking the manpage of GNU make tells nothing about any '--prefix
option'.

Please do it this way:
make clean
./configure --prefix=/home/user/applications/geany/0.15
make
sudo make install

Then Geany knows about your non-standard prefix and things will work
fine (e.g. I'm using /home/enrico/apps/ and it works).
And you can't or at least should not use '~' in the prefix path, IIRC
the configure script tells you so, too. You should use absolute path
names.


Regards,
Enrico
