Description:

during
make install
as non-root, I got smth like
...
/usr/bin/install cannot stat on <my home dir>/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libgcj.pc
...
And the make terminated with an error.
Workaround:: checked the permissions of pkgconfig and found out that I cannot
change to the directory <my home dir>/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

Temporary workaround:
make install (wait for this error)
change the permissions of pkgconfig to all-are-allowed-to-change-into
make install (start once more)

regards,
Sasha Mal

Did <my home dir>/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig exist before installing GCC, if so this is not a gcc bug?

Hard to tell now, I think yes, since it contains "libgcj.pc" from "Jan21" and
"openssl.pc", dated by "Nov 3". The file "openssl.pc" seems to be from the
previous installation of openssl (OpenSSL 0.9.7c 30 Sep 2003) but i cannot state
this with an absolute certainty. If it's not a bug, it is maybe at least an
incompatibility with openssl's install procedure.

Cannot be our bug, because the directory existed before.  No installer can help this.

To add, you must have write permissions to all directories where the install is occurring to.
