[sword-devel] Mac Autogen question

[Greg Hellings]

To half answer my questions - the autogen.sh warnings are still there:

However, I decided to run an `svn diff` to see if I had changed
anything in my local tree and found that include/installmgr.h and
include/config.h both had differences from the server version.  I
reverted to the original versions and the library now builds (if I
disable build tests), including the buildtest.cpp that Manfred
mentioned earlier having problems with.

However, now I can't get the installmgr to work from the command line.
 The output is pretty verbose - it finds the mods.d/ directory under
/opt/manual/share/sword and also picks up the locales.d directory in
the same place.  Then it complains that it thinks there is a
permissions problem installing.  However, I'm not certain exactly
where it's trying to install, and I have tried with root permissions
(I'm running installmgr in a sudo command) and user permissions.

Anyone have help suggestions on this?  I know I could use the GUI
installers, but since I don't usually use the GUIs for doing the
SWORD-based work that I use the Mac for, I'd prefer to have the
command-line utilities install, since my tools are going to be running
in that environment.
