[AUCTeX] Compiling auctex as simple user from CVS

[Damien Cassou]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Auctex as a simple user with no root privileges.

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/twinoatl/opt/auctex
$ make
$ make install
./mkinstalldirs /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp
rm -f /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/tex-site.el # Remove old
(CVS-version) mistakes
test ! -f /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tex-site.el || { \
           if grep -q "tex-site.*Don't edit."
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tex-site.el; then \
            echo "Overwriting old tex-site.el" ; \
           else \
            echo "Renaming old tex-site.el to tex-site.el.save" ; \
            mv /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tex-site.el
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tex-site.el.save ; \
           fi; \
        }
Overwriting old tex-site.el
if test Xno = Xno; \
        then /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 tex-site.el
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp ; \
        else rm -f /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tex-site.el ; \
        fi
/usr/bin/install: can't remove
`/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tex-site.el': non authorized
make: *** [install-el] Error 1



There is probably a way to tell configure not to do that, but I think
this is a wrong behavior.

Thank you for Auctex, bye
