Yes.
Is there a way to address that problem? (-no-fast-install?)
There's a TODO list item to make this work everywhere with
--enable-fast-install (which is the default). ......
Good to know
..... Until then,
there is the workaround of doing a
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/dest
as normal user, and then as root, copying that tree to its final
location, then a
libtool --mode=finish $libdir..
That works is the package is properly DESTDIRized; unfortunately quite a few
packages use automake plus non-DESTDIRized install-{data,exec}-hooks.
And one has to be careful with setuid/setgid files.
So, this is really just a workaround.
Hope that helps.
I just moved everything to a local filessystem.
regards Peter
