This is a "This should be cleaned up before final release" report. When I "make" lilypond 1.3.150 on my more or less virgin RedHat 6.2 system, as me, it seems to complete without errors. However, when, as root, I "make install", I get: Processing volta-bracket-interface ... Backtrace: 0* [eval-string " ;;; generate-documentation.scm -- Generate documentation ;;;$ 1* (let* (# # # #) (writing-wip outname) (display # out)) 2* [open-output-file "lilypond-internals.texi"] 3 [open-file "lilypond-internals.texi" "w"] ERROR: In procedure open-file in expression (open-file str OPEN_WRITE): ERROR: Permission denied: "lilypond-internals.texi" make[2]: *** [out/lilypond-internals.nexi] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/import/Users/gamey/lconrad/src/lilypond/lilypond-1.3.150/Documentation/user' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/import/Users/gamey/lconrad/src/lilypond/lilypond-1.3.150/Documentation' make: *** [install] Error 2 It looks to me like "make install" is using a local directory, where redhat does not allow root to write. So either something should be done in "make" that is currently done in "make install", or the "make install" should be told to put its temp files somewhere else. Or at the very least, this step shouldn't stop the make. -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.laymusic.org : Putting live music back in the living room. _______________________________________________ Gnu-music-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-music-discuss
