My system is i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux. I built lesstiff ok. on running make install I get an error. I used the --prefix and --exec-prefix to specify writeable areas on the hard disk. Yet install still tries to write to /usr/share/ which is not writeable for me. I am having problems registering on the sourceforge site, so please copy me on any replies
