git issues

[David Peterson]

I made sure to delete the directory and re-tried the make install.  The make install then creates the directory and once it does that it errors at the same stage in the installation.

It's simple to provoke an error like that.  All you need to do is to create a *file* named /usr/local/etc/raddb

See:

 bjorn at canardo:~$ mkdir /tmp/foo
 bjorn at canardo:~$ install -d -m 755 /tmp/foo/  bjorn at canardo:~$ touch /tmp/bar  bjorn at canardo:~$ install -d -m 755 /tmp/bar/
 install: cannot create directory ‘/tmp/bar/’: File exists


I cannot explain why anyone would want to do that, though :)
