I wanted to install librep to a custom location so used ./configure --prefix=/path/to/custom/location but 'make install' failed with
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/man/man1/rep.1.gz': Permission denied /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/man/man1/repdoc.1.gz': Permission denied /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/man/man1/rep-remote.1.gz': Permission denied /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/man/man1/rep-xgettext.1.gz': Permission denied This is clearly a bug, it shouldn't try accessing /usr/share when prefix=/path/to/custom/location.
