-Hope this can be useful for someone.
+It seems like this installation looses the /etc files (we're as plain user), but this can be used as a workaround:
+
+ ikiwiki -setup ~/downloads/ikiwiki/auto.setup
+
+I've not investigated more the /etc files ussage, but does not seems like a good idea to be as plain user...

+ /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist does not exist

+Portability fixes encountered while maintaining the pkgsrc package:
+
+* In `IkiWiki::Setup::Standard::gendump()`, generate a shebang
+ matching the current `perl`.
+* In `Makefile.PL`, provide overridable defaults for `SYSCONFDIR`
+ and `MANDIR`.
+* In `Makefile.PL`, use `perl` to bump `ikiwiki.spec` instead of
+ `sed -i`.
+* In `Makefile.PL`, specify more portable options to `cp`.
+
+I've attempted to mergeably patch these in my git, commit
+5c177c96ac98b24aaa0613ca241fb113f1b32c55.
