Hi Angelo, well, the DOS-style path only caused a warning in the configure step, so I assumed it was okay. It was not apparently. Building out-of-source is an instruction I must have missed.
So, I tried again. The problem I reported before has gone, but I still get a file permission problem later on. I have not been able to solve it, even though my laptop is now connected to the domain, I have instructed the build process to use my home directory and I have set umask to 0000 - all suggestions I found or was told they might solve the problem. If anyone knows what to do about it, I would very much like to hear about it. My Google foo is failing me in unearthing a definite solution, I am afraid.
