Description
When installing Xapian-bindings in another directory than standard, it fails because of lack of permissions in the wrong directory:
| mkdir -p -- |
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages"
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'modern/xapian.py'
'/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xapian.py' /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xapian.py': Permission denied
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'xapian.pyc'
'/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xapian.pyc' /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xapian.pyc': Permission denied make[4]: * [install-pylibDATA] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/jkl/source/xapian-bindings-0.9.6/python' make[3]: * [install-am] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/jkl/source/xapian-bindings-0.9.6/python' make[2]: * [install-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jkl/source/xapian-bindings-0.9.6/python' make[1]: * [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jkl/source/xapian-bindings-0.9.6/python' make: * [install-recursive] Error 1
My prefix was set to /home/jkl/pkg/, So I'd expect it'll install there.
