| make[4]: [gcl-si.info] Error 1 (ignored)
| make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/gdr/build/axiom/lsp/gcl-2.6.8pre/info'
| make[4]: Entering directory `/home/gdr/build/axiom/lsp/gcl-2.6.8pre/info'
| mkdir -p /usr/share/info/
| [ -f /usr/share/info/dir ] || touch /usr/share/info/dir
| grep gcl-si /usr/share/info/dir >/dev/null 2>&1 || \
| echo "* GCL Doc: (gcl-si.info). GNU Common Lisp specific Documentation."
>> /usr/share/info/dir
| /bin/sh: /usr/share/info/dir: Permission denied
| make[4]: *** [install] Error 1

| My preliminary analysis is that GCL is insisting to install info files
| in a directory (/usr/share/info) which is not part of what is
| specified as --prefix and on which I do not have a write permission
| (and even if I had a write permission, it would still be wrong).
In configure.in, GCL as a machinery to check for where to install the
info files. With a default value as $prefix/share/info. That is perfect.
However, down the road, GCL changes its mind and wanted to know
whether /usr/share/info/dir exits, and if it does then it would install the
info files there. That is not right.
if test -f "${INFO_DIR}dir" ; then true;else
if test -f /usr/share/info/dir ; then
INFO_DIR=/usr/share/info/
else true;
fi
fi
I'll be checking in a patch that removes that.
