This error looks rather interesting. The -d option of the install command is for creating a directory. It's not supposed to complain if the directory already exists. When install -d was used to create /bin, which surely does already exist, it correctly silently ignored the condition. When, however, it was used to create /var/run/brltty, it complained that it already exists and then failed. That's not supposed to happen. My guess is that /var/run/brltty on your system does exist but isn't a directory. Can you check this out? If it's a symbolic link, what's it pointing to? If it's a file, what's in it? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God. Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | 2011 May 21 is the End of Salvation.
