Bug#418526: Can't open file `${prefix}/share/discover/pci.lst' for reading!

thanks

I investigated, and can reproduce this problem.  The values originates
from ./lib/paths.h generated from ./lib/paths.h.in by config.status,
and you are right that the setting should not include the ${prefix}
part.

I believe this patch solve the problem.  It is commited to subversion,
and will be part of the next release.
