Problem with Installing Insight-5.3

Problem with Installing Insight-5.3

[Raul Ito]

Hi,

I build insight 5.3 using the following commands,
  ../inside-5.3/configure
  make

Then try to install it with
  make install

and I got error as in follows,
  /bin/sh ../../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/info
  mkdir /usr/local/info
  make[2]: *** [install-info-am] Error 1
  make[2]: Leaving directory `XXXX/insight-5.3/bfd/doc'
  make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
  make[1]: Leaving directory `XXXX/insight-5.3/bfd'
  make: *** [install-bfd] Error 2

Does anyone knows the probable cause of this error and its solution?

Thanks in advance,
Raul

What host are you building for? If you are building on a unix (linux,
hpux, aix, solaris, etc), it certainly sounds like you do not have
permission to create /usr/local/info. Either run make install as root or
reconfigure and build using the "--prefix" (and, optionally) the
"--exec-prefix" options to configure. This will allow you to install
into a directory of your choice.
