I notice something this morning trying to do an install over NFS. Building the source is no problem (minus the minor helpbrowser issue I noted in an earlier message), but when installing I get this message: make[4]: Entering directory `/home/mjhammel/src/graphics/gimp/gimp-1.1/gimp-1.1.25/plug-ins/perl/po' /usr/bin/perl ../pxgettext `find .. -type f -print | grep '\.pm$\|\.xs$\|examples/\|Perl-Server'` > gimp-perl.pot~ /bin/sh: gimp-perl.pot~: Permission denied The problem here is that I build (as an ordinary user) to install under /usr/local/gimp-1.1 and install the package as the root user. However, running "make install" as a root user across an NFS mounted partition fails unless root (actually, the user "nobody") has write permission on that partition. I could look into doing this, but my question is why "make install" is trying to build something here? Should this particular step (making gimp-perl.pot~) be part of the build process or does it have to be done during the install step? -- Michael J.
