I'm not sure that this is a case of make install being deficient, just a case of it not doing what I wanted...
My system (a fresh install of fedora core 5) needed the following directories created. (Not creating them lead to mysterious errors that were almost impossible to track back to a cause): /usr/local/etc/openafs Failure to create /usr/local/etc/openafs lead to bosserver not creating /usr/local/etc/openafs/server and dangling symlinks for /usr/local/etc/openafs/ThisCell and CellServDB. I've been manually creating /usr/local/etc/openafs/server as well, though I suspect bosserver would correctly do that. /usr/local/var Failure to create this lead to errors such as: bos: failed to set cell (you are not authorized for this operation) even though I'd run bosserver and bos setcellname both with the -noauth flag. It would be nice if make install would create the $(sysconfdir)/openafs director and the $(localstatedir)... but maybe that is outside the scope of its operation. It would surely have saved me a bit of head scratching.
