blfs: ntfs-3g message


So in the install of ntfs3g (following the BLFS stable 8.0 book) , I saw this message:
Code:
****************************************************************************
* WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING   *
* The FUSE user space binaries were NOT installed with root directory      *
* executable prefix. This means that automounting NTFS volumes during boot *
* could fail. This can be fixed the below way by reinstalling FUSE using   *
* the right 'configure' option during FUSE compilation:                    *
*       ./configure --exec-prefix=/                                        *
*       make && sudo make install                                          *
* WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING   *
****************************************************************************
You can type now 'make' to build ntfs-3g.
Since the way the message said to ./configure was not the way the book said to do it, I ignored it and pressed on. No obvious errors have occurred (though I have yet to mount a ntfs partition).

The book made no warning about that warning.

Can anyone explain? Thank you in advance.

Just ignore it. It's the way BLFS installs fuse that bothers ntfs-3g configure script. Necessary binaries and libraries from fuse are moved post-install, rather by configure and make install.
