My po/Makefile.in has this definition of datadir:
datadir = ${datarootdir}
so this definition also appears in po/Makefile.
I replaced it with ${prefix}/share, and make install worked.
Another funny fact: make install worked with the datadir = ${datarootdir}
with GNU make.
Anyway, who set datadir to ${datarootdir} instead of ${prefix}/share
in Makefile.in? Should there be a po/Makefile.am to ensure the correct
definition?
