We have a problem. The above change works for su -c "make install", but
fails for sudo "make install" with
sudo: make install: command not found
The su variation fails without the quotes, so we need to rework this.
Personally, I prefer sudo, but can understand that some will want to use
su.
The only solution I can come up with is to create a bash function
something like:
as_root()
{
if [ -x /usr/bin/sudo ]; then
sudo $*
else
su -c \\"$*\\"
fi
}
I can't say I like it, but it works.
