| Description: | setting PREFIX_INSTALL, compiling and installing Asterisk as nonroot is prevented due to attempt to write into directory /usr/lib/pkgconfig in mkpkgconfig. Script mkpkgconfig checks only if directory exists but not if it has enough rights to write there. | ||
| Comments: | By: Clod Patry (junky) 2005-04-11 05:34:52 What about if you chown user.user /usr/lib/pkgconfig ? By: manero (manero) 2005-04-11 05:53:02 This is more general question. if you are installing into user defined directory like PREFIX_INSTALL=/opt/asterisk then you should not write nowhere else and not even /usr/lib. By: Brian West (bkw918) 2005-04-11 11:43:30 why not make DESTDIR=/opt/asterisk install /b By: Brian West (bkw918) 2005-04-11 11:44:09 Also logic would tell me that you must install that one file as root. NEXT!!! /b By: Brian West (bkw918) 2005-04-11 11:47:21 Please reopen a single bug report with all your problems in it.. /b | ||
