The default value of the --prefix argument of configure is of course
/usr/local . However, the Mac does not have this directory natively, and
it is not in the default path. As explained in the README in the
mac-osx-10.5 directory, liblouis should be configured with --prefix=/usr
and liblouisxml should be installed using the files in that directory.
This is a hack, of course. But it works until we or Apple fix the
problem with autotools.
