I also noticed this last time and forgot about it until I was just recompiling with --enable-developer. The Makefile seems to be missing a line like this: $(INSTALL) -d -m 755 $(R)$(libdir) It probably doesn't cause any problem if you use the default prefix, but if the directory doesn't exist, make install gets angry when it tries to put files there. -- Dennis Skinner Systems Administrator BlueFrog Internet http://www.bluefrog.com
