Requesting help with glib install

[PAUL WILLIAMSON-3]

Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)

Trying to install smokepipng, but obviously I need rrdtool

first.  It's been a while since I did an install, and I'm

running into problems with installing glib.  This is the error:

 

Making install in po
make[1]: Entering directory `/downloads/glib-2.0.7/po'
if test -r ".././mkinstalldirs"; then \
  .././mkinstalldirs /usr/local/share; \
else \
  /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/share; \
fi
/bin/sh: .././mkinstalldirs: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [install-data-yes] Error 126
make[1]: Leaving directory `/downloads/glib-2.0.7/po'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

I've been pulling my hair out for the last few days.  I'm

hoping someone can help me out.

 

Running RedHat ES4.

 

Thanks,

Paul

It looks like it's unable to create the directory '/usr/local/share'.  
Are you doing this as a user who has permissions to do so? Do you have  
other restrictions such that you couldn't do that (SELinux maybe?)

I thought that too.  I'm performing the installation as root,

and SELinux is disabled.

 

The directory already exists, but that shouldn't be a big

deal because the /usr/local/share directory is pretty

common.
