byobu: bogus installation because of prefix

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Howdy,

Have a look at the README file. I think you've missed a step at the end:

      ./configure --prefix="$HOME/byobu"
      make
      make install
      echo "export BYOBU_PREFIX=$HOME/byobu" >> $HOME/.bashrc
      echo "export PATH=$BYOBU_PREFIX/bin:$PATH" >> $HOME/.bashrc
      . $HOME/.bashrc
      byobu

I think this is probably just a documentation issue...

> echo "export PATH=$BYOBU_PREFIX/bin:$PATH" >> $HOME/.bashrc
> . $HOME/.bashrc
> byobu
No need for this, as the script is already present in $PATH.

But for being sure I tried it; didn't help. Anyway, this approach is not standard so it should be avoided.

    - big changeset to solve a few bugs, LP: #897473, #861291, #897048
    - take over ~/.byoburc, and use it for storing global byobu shell
      configuration, namely BYOBU_PREFIX when necessary
      + note that some users might have previously used ~/.byoburc to
        store byobu-only screen configuration
      + these users should now use ~/.byobu/.screenrc instead (also
        because byobu now supports both screen and tmux)
    - on first run, if byobu is running outside of its normal location
      in /usr/bin/byobu, it will automatically detect and append the
      correct BYOBU_PREFIX value and store it in ~/.byoburc
    - ~/.byoburc is now read by all usr/bin/* in order to find the
      correct prefix
  * usr/lib/byobu/include/dirs: LP: #780081
    - use ~/.local/share/byobu as BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR, if it happens to exist
  * usr/lib/byobu/include/dirs: LP: #899271
    - allow explicit BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR selection in ~/.byoburc
  * usr/lib/byobu/users, usr/share/byobu/status/statusrc,
    usr/share/man/man1/byobu.1: LP: #900663
    - add support for a USERS_DISTINCT=1 status configuration setting
      to count the number of distinct users, rather than open ssh sessions

    - fix status detailing, skip include, as it's a directory

The problem is fixed for me with byobu v4.54. Many thanks!
