+Note: If you use prefix parameter in make install then you also need
+to use this parameter in previous make commands, i.e. make, make modules,
+or make all. If you fail to do this then SER will look for the default
+configuration file in a wrong directory, because the directory of the
+default configuration file is hard coded into ser during compile time. 
+When you use a different prefix parameter when installing then the 
+directory hard coded in ser and the directory in which the file will be 
+installed by make install will not match. (You can specify exact location
+of the configuration file using -f parameter of ser).
+
+For example, if you do the following:
+make all
+make prefix=/ install
+
+Then the installation will put the default configuration file into
+/etc/ser/ser.cfg (because prefix is /), but ser will look for the file
+in /usr/local/etc/ser/ser.cfg (because there was no prefix parameter
+in make all and /usr/local is the default value of prefix).
+
+Workaround is trivial, use the same parameters in all make commands:
+make prefix=/ all
+make prefix=/ install
+
+That applies to other make parameters as well (for example parameters
+"modules" or "excluded_modules").
