[gcmd-usr] a few 'make' errors

[bendov]

I got thru the missing dependencies fairly well, for GC 1.8.1.
After installing a couple missing dependencies, it said, type 'make' to 
build

That worked until the very end, where it through a few errors.
I'm not sure all errors shown are relevant to me (for English lang.) - 
some may be.
I couldn't find much on these keywords - for Gnome Commander; but did 
read about Segmentation fault.  I doubt I have any control over a 
Segmentation fault.

Before the line, "touch "de/de.stamp, output looked normal (to me).
This is where it starts showing make errors:
*****************
touch "de/de.stamp"
/bin/bash: line 4: 19472 Segmentation fault      itstool -m "${mo}" 
${d}/C/index.docbook ${d}/C/legal.xml ${d}/C/releases.xml

***********************

I searched the web for these individual errors.  I didn't see anything 
with enough discussion to understand how to fix the errors;
or what to do about them?

Another question:
In Readme, the steps listed show:

% make                    # build GNOME Commander
[ Become root if necessary ]
% make install                # install GNOME Commander

I assume that means become root (sudo) for "make install" (NOT for 
'make'), where it may be writing to root owned directories, during 
actual installation?

Thanks.
