Paul: This is one of those tickets that you created on the basis of an inline comment (which was perhaps originally written by leo). Is it still valid or can the ticket be closed?
As far as I know the code in question would primarily apply to Linux on amd64. It may also apply to other systems on amd64, but I know that particular directory structure is used with Linux. FreeBSD is not affected(but then again, I never have gotten a 32 bit working build).

kid51,
To be totally honest, I don't know. I'm not testing on 64 bit platforms atm, so I can't give it a go. It's one of those instances where we have to wait for someone working on a 64 bit platform (amd64, say) tells us if things are working properly or not. Oh for a compiler farm like we used to have on sf.net... My guess as to the status of this ticket is that it is effectively stalled, but not closed.

Hopefully within the next month I'll be trying to build a new Parrot RPM. But I'm having one of those months at the moment -- sorry.

This ticket has been open for more than two-and-a-half years -- solely on the basis of an ancient inline comment. In that time no one has produced any evidence that we are doing the wrong thing. Given how many of our developers are currently working on AMD64, I would have expected that by now some evidence of doing the wrong thing would have emerged.
I am therefore taking this ticket, removing the inline comment from config/init/defaults.pm and resolving the ticket. Wayland, if you get around to testing the install paths on 64-bit and we're doing the wrong thing, please open up a Trac ticket with full details.
