I was building an RPM of Thrift using the contrib .spec file, using a user
other than root. The RPM build process sets the install prefix to the BUILD
directory, but it looks like the Perl portion of the configure script didn't
get the message, and was trying to install to /, which failed. Running
configure again, but '--without-perl', was successful.
I don't know anything at all about autotools, otherwise I'd help here.
