Re: make install fails on Solaris sun box

[Tommy Nordgren <tommy.nordgren@xxxxxxxxx>]

The most common reason for Make Install to fail, is that you don't have
sufficient access rights to install in the right directories.
The default installation for locally built open-source packages
are in subdirectories of /usr/local on most unixes.
You can fix this by giving the command:
sudo make install
You will be prompted for your administration password.
/The sudo command executes the following command with an effective
user ID of root
