Re: Error in SourceNavigator installation.

[Benjamin Scherrey <scherrey@switchco.com>]

Yep - its long been my habit (and common practice amoungst automake/conf
configured apps) to switch to root before performing the final install.
I guess SourceNav does some strange things that prohibit this from
working. So.. my status is that I can install SourceNav on a per-user
basis using the --prefix option in configuration but cannot just
globally install the product for all users. I suppose I could make a
globally writable directory for all to use but that's not the greatest
idea as far as security and just plain stability of the system is
concerned. I hope these are just first light hiccups and not intended
consequences.

	thanx & later,
