Hi, This release has wrong file permissions in the `build-aux' dir:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 gws gws 3707 2007-08-07 18:24 compile -rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws 44207 2006-06-19 09:39 config.guess -rwxr-xr-x 1 gws gws 18343 2007-08-09 18:12 config.rpath -rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws 32436 2006-06-19 09:39 config.sub -rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws 17171 2006-06-19 09:39 depcomp -rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws 11529 2006-06-19 09:39 install-sh -rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws 1292 2007-02-18 20:07 link-warning.h -rwxr-xr-x 1 gws gws 5483 2006-06-19 09:39 mdate-sh -rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws 11135 2006-06-19 09:39 missing -rw-r--r-- 1 gws gws 0 2006-06-19 09:39 texinfo.tex Everything except for `texinfo.tex' should be 755. I just checked some other similar packages (Gzip, Tar) and they both have correct permissions. Most folks are not affected. I only noticed this because the build failed on a very old distro (Red Hat 6.2): ../../build-aux/install-sh -c -d sys /temptools/bin/bash: ../../build-aux/install-sh: Permission denied make[2]: *** [sys/stat.h] Error 126 make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/sysroot/temptools/src/texinfo-4.11/gnulib/lib' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 The makefiles decided to use `install-sh' because of this: checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... build-aux/install-sh -c -d Anyway, fixing the permissions makes the build succeed. Regards Greg
