test configuration does not work with configure --prefix

[abeccati]

make check complains that rasdaman is not installed if —prefix is used and rasdaman bin is not on the path, which hinders testing different versions.

Having maintenance branches calls for configurable test environment

to reporoduce
git clone
configure with —prfix=/usr/local/rasdaman-8.4.0
make && make install

./systemtest/testcases_petascope/test_wcs/test.sh
test.sh: rasdaman not installed, please add to the PATH.
test.sh: exiting.

Adding to the PATH works but its error prone since the instance in the path can be not the one intended to be tested.

Proposed solution is to put an RMANROOT or similar parameter into the test_wcps/test.cfg that gets "configured" by autotools using —prefix (or its default)

In the autotools this is the ${prefix} variable I think, see source:bin/Makefile.am for example on how scripts are made aware of this.

Correction, it's $(bindir)

Kinga what is the status of this ticket?

[Kinga Lipskoch]

The status is not yet-fixed, because having priorities on other issues.

Maybe we should assign it to someone else, it's 8 months old.
