I just discovered that it is impossible to "make install" successfully if one compiles under separate user account. It's because install script tries to overwrite/create files in source tree, specifically prebuilt help files.
Vadim, before I start working it around, can you explain why exactly is it needed? Maybe there is a better solution. Would it be possible to build into separate folder and then only optionally copy files? Anyway, I am at least going to add configure option that disables it. I played with access rights, but I still have some problems and it looks ugly anyway. I don't quite understand the error messages, but I am pasting them here just in case. I am getting these even if build user owns HtmlHlp folder. make -C HtmlHlp install make[3]: Entering directory `/home/build/mahogany/fresh/doc/HtmlHlp' This is LaTeX2HTML Version 2K.1beta (1.48) by Nikos Drakos, Computer Based Learning Unit, University of Leeds.
