Getting "make install" to succeed...

[Peter Raymond <Pe...@merant.com>]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to solve the problem where "make install"
is failing because it has changed directory.
I noticed in earlier posts in this group that others had also
found this problem, but I could not find a post describing any
workaround or solution.

I am building subversion on Solaris 2.7 using autoconf 2.50 and 
libtool 1.4.

I have done a successful autogen, configure and make, but the 
"make install" fails.  It seems to have changed directory to
the libsvn_ra_dav directory but not changed back, it then fails
looking for the relative path:
 
"subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/.libs/libsvn_ra_dav.so.0.0.0T"

I am not using GNU make, I am using the Sun SparcWorks compiler and
tools, do you think this might be the problem?

The tail of my make log reads:

BTW...I also had to apply the patches that Jon Trowbridge posted
to the mailing list to get the code to link.  Will these changes
be patched into the code base?
