I noted last week that the 1.3.x tree contains two copies of mkinstalldirs, one in the config directory and one in the top-level directory. This latter is very old.
Lars noted that it used to be needed for "make install" to succeed and asked that I tested whether that was still the case. Here's what I did: $ rm -f mkinstalldirs $ mkdir build-test && cd build-test $ ../configure --with-pspell --with-included-gettext $ make $ su $ make install $ make uninstall $ exit $ rm -rf build-test $ ./configure --with-pspell --with-included-gettext $ make $ su $ make install $ make uninstall $ exit I can confirm that everything worked as expected, so I think that we can remove the mkinstalldirs in the top-level directory. OK? -- Angus
