Install bug

Looking at the email archive to locate my problem.
After installing under /usr/local as root I get as a user:

[ckuklewicz@kuklewicz download]$ snavigator 
Error: invalid command name "sn_tcl_tk_init"

While root can start it.  I found problem discussed in the email
archive, with this note in particular:

It sounds like one of the .tcl files or a directory is not getting installed
with the other readable bit set. Does anyone want to take a shot at
this one? You could get "first patch" bragging rights :)

These three files were installed without other read permission

-rw-r-----    1 root     root         8709 Jul 20 19:56 ./share/sdk/include/db.h
-rw-r-----    1 root     root         4756 Jul 20 19:56 ./share/sdk/include/cdefs.h
-rw-r-----    1 root     root        55606 Jul 20 19:56 ./share/gui/tclIndex

After making the third one readable the ckukelwicz user could start snavigator

Good work, Mo DeJong!

Ok, I fixed that by adding a "chmod 644 ${INSTALL}/share/gui/tclIndex"
to the make install rule. You will have to do this by hand or patch
it yourself until the first 5.0 snapshot is up (and no I can't say
when that will be).

I will generate a patch on Monday for this and post it to the ftp
directory.
