Perl installation ignores --prefix option about link-grammar HOT 4 OPEN

I didn't investigate it deeply, but it somehow tries to remove a file from the default prefix and fails due to a permission problem (it needs superuser).

Try to install it from superuser, or use:
make -k install

@ampli Yes, but that's the problem exactly: the reason for prefix install is typically that you don't have a super-user permission, and you want to install it for your current user. I'm no Perl expert, but a bit of googling suggests that the typical way to achieve this in Perl would be by means of local::lib module. But as is my case, I'd be happy if I could just avoid Perl bindings generation entirely.

I think --disable-perl-bindings worked, once upon a time ... the configure mechanics is identical to the --enable flags, but with the opposite default.

My workaround has been to use PERL_EXT_LIB=XXX/perl ./configure --prefix XXX to put the perl libraries somewhere where I may.
