Thanks John,

It turned out that PREFIX was set to /usr/local/ but this brings up
something new.  Back in the days of Ardour 0.99 (and even with the early
beta version of 2.0) Ardour seemed to get installed under /usr/local/libs/
but again, the version in that location is an old version.  It doesn't seem
as though anything's been updated there since I upgraded to the proper
release (V2.0.5).  Until now I just assumed that this was a deliberate
change but now I'm not so sure.  Scons definitely isn't copying anything
there in my case but from what you said, is sounds as if it should be.

regards,

John
