Sachin,
This is not my problem. I'm already using 'prefix=' to specify install
directories to which I have write access.
The problem is that 'make install' wants to run 'install' (in my case
'ginstall') with the '-o root' option, which means it's trying to change
ownership of certain installed binaries to root. Since I'm running this
as a non-root user, I'm not allowed to change file ownerships at all.
I even tried editing the top-level Makefile to remove the '-o root'. But
the lower-level Makefiles still contained '-o root' and I don't feel like
going into every subdirectory and editing the Makefiles, especially since
I don't even know if this will solve the problem.
Mike
