Is this desired behavior, or a bug?
A long-standing bug. You can safely "chown -R root:root..." everything. The GRASS build process installs everything to a staging directory as it goes. "make install" just copies the staging directory to the final location using "tar c ... | tar x ...". Using the "-o" flag when extracting would prevent the ownership from being preserved when run by root, but I don't know whether this is portable. -- Glynn Clements <gl...@gclements.plus.com> _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
