 fails bad.
 
 And you know, using 'sudo' is not always a chance, as depending on
 'sudo' configuration, it does not preserve the environment.

I don't see configure.log - but I see build.log and default.log. These
should not cause conflict - but RDict.db does.

Matt would have to check this issue. Ideally most of these files
should not be created during 'make install'

As a hack - I can add os.remove('RDict.db') in config/installer.py

ok - I pushed the hack [deletes more than RDict.db - as I see
different files created in different situations..]
