You just say make install. Look in the Makefile. It does the sudo
already INSIDE the script.
The instructions do say to use "make install" and "sudo password required"
they don't say "sudo make install".
The reason for this is that the install requires sudo access.
However the cache MUST belong to YOU not root.
If root builds the cache, YOU cannot write to it.
So the cache is always empty and every compile will try *unsuccessfully*
to rebuild it.
you can fix this, just do
sudo rm $HOME/.felix
The cache gets rebuilt automatically anyhow .. it's done in the install
just so when the average user runs Felix the first time it doesn't
do all the library building.
Just about everyone makes this mistake. It's contrary to the usual
rules for installing so I supposed I'd better fix it.
