When installing client from source with 'make client-install' some essential directories are not created which makes ipa-client-install to fail.
I have opted to allow creating /etc/ipa and /var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore only if DESTDIR is specified. Distributing ipa-client in source form is defeating purpose of FreeIPA, in most cases proper packaging should be preferred. What's important is to hint to packagers what directories should be essential, and thus created in $(DESTDIR). Even source-based distributions have one or another form of packaging that makes this issue less problematic. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1849 -- / Alexander Bokovoy
