When BUILDDIR != SRCDIR I get:
files=`cd ../../lib ; echo bind/*.bind clipart/*.eps doc/*.lyx doc/*.eps doc/*.lyx.in examples/*.lyx examples/*.fen help/*.hlp images/*.xpm kbd/*.kmap kbd/*.cdef layouts/*.layout layouts/*.inc templates/*.lyx tex/*.cls tex/*.sty ui/*.ui` ; \ for i in ${files} ; do \ /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ../../lib/$i /home/rae/share/lyx/$i ; \ done /usr/bin/install: ../../lib/doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx: No such file or directory /usr/bin/install: installing multiple files, but last argument (/home/rae/share/lyx/doc/platypus.eps) is not a directory Try `/usr/bin/install --help' for more information. this is the main body of install-data-local. For some reason the files variable is getting an entry for doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx which doesn't exist there but is in the builddir instead. This seems to be due to the "doc/*.lyx" which doesn't match anything for the builddir != srcdir case. I'm installing over the top of an old installation so that probably explains the second error message about platypus.eps. Allan. (ARRae)
