The install is, I think, a home-brewn script. It says: Usage: install [-c] [-s] [-o own] [-g grp] [-m mode] src dst Or:install [-o own] [-g grp] [-m mode] -d dir option c : copy (obsolete) option s : try to strip dst option o : (possibly numeric) owner ident option g : (possibly numeric) group ident option m : mode (in octal eg 755 ) src : must be readable file dst : file or directory The Makefile in xdvik doesn't give any mode parameters, so how should the install script know that it should add the x permission? $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) $(srcdir)/xdvizilla $(scriptdir)/xdvizilla $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) = install -c. -- Piet van Oostrum [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP] Private email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Speaking of permissions, Mandrake's msec security tool noticed a few world writable files/directories in the main texmf tree: texmf/fonts/pk texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/jknappen texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/jknappen/ec texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/jknappen/tc texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/dstroke texmf/ls-R texmf/web2c/mf.base texmf/web2c/mf.log

And are you sure is main texmf tree and not in /var/lib/texmf? As in /var/lib/texmf to allow users to generate on the fly the PK fonts. On main texmf tree, i.e. /usr/share/texmf there shouldn't be such files, unless maybe you are running tex as root. Version 2.0.2, main texmf tree, installed and run from ordinary user login. In version 2.0.1, only texmf/ls-R ended up with world-write permission.
