 Hi,

 I tried to install dbus with a macports installed in a custom $prefix as
 non-root user.

 while it throws warnings about not being able to create users/groups
 during the build (which is ok),
 it also tries to put the LaunchAgent into the system directory and not the
 /Users/ one.

 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: error copying
 "/Users/mh6/var/macports/software/dbus/1.2.24_1/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop
 .dbus-session.plist" to "/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 session.plist": permission denied

 While the Portfile itself passes the custom install location through,
 Patch4 hardcodes it to /Library/LaunchAgents

 Would be nice if someone could change it to ${prefix}/Library/LaunchAgents


 thanks,

 Michael
