I think the quick fix was to remove the symbolic links (IIRC there are a
couple) in "../../../../lib" and run make install again.
I believe the problem is that make install doesn't remove links before
trying to recreate them and ln would not overwrite the existing link
(created during a previous make install or during the actual build or
both??).
Yeah, I fixed the problem by whacking the sym links. They are apparently created by the actual build, since that was the first time I'd done a make install in that tree. It's also a bummer when make install craps out in the middle because of a write permission problem, and then you can't do it again without cleaning up after it.. :-( Anyhow, seems like the problem's been fixed in a later release, so no more irritation in the future on that front.. :-)
