[bt-devel] Problem running "make install" on current CVS of Bibletime

[Steven P. Ulrick]

Hello, Everyone :) I can successfully configure and make the current CVS
of Bibletime, but when I run "make install" (as root), I get the
following error:

make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/steve/CVS/bibletime/docs/howto/unicode'
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/steve/CVS/bibletime/docs/howto/unicode'

I am running Fedora Core 1, all official updates installed.  XFree86
from the Fedora Core test/development directory.  Also, I am running the
following: autoconf-2.57.tar.bz2 automake-1.7.2.tar.bz2
libtool-1.4.3.tar.bz2

These are not the defaults that ship with Fedora Core.  I believe
someone on the BT-devel list said I should use these to compile
Bibletime from the CVS.  I have never had any problems like this one
before.

Also, I am running the current Beta of KDE, installed from KDE's
official Fedora RPM's.

I am also uploading a tarball with the entire output of "make -f
Makefile.cvs", "./configure --prefix=/usr", "make" and "make install" to
the following location:
http://www.faith4miracle.org/Bibletime-MakeInstall-Error.tar.bz2

Oh yeah, almost forgot: I am running Sword from the CVS (just updated
before I made the file referred to above)  I also tried a new copy of
the CVS of Bibletime, with the same results.  Just to be safe, I'll try
the tarball of Sword 1.5.7 that I just downloaded.

Thanks in advance for your help :)
