Hi there,

When I run the "make install" (step 4 in INSTALL) here is what I get:

fjalilva_at_olive:/home/fjalilva/fvwm-2.2.4:( 65 )%make install
Making install in libs
Making install in fvwm
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin
mkdir /usr/local
mkdir: Failed to make directory "/usr/local"; Permission denied
mkdir /usr/local/bin
mkdir: Failed to make directory "/usr/local/bin"; No such file or directory
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-binPROGRAMS'
Current working directory /home/fjalilva/fvwm-2.2.4/fvwm
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-am'
Current working directory /home/fjalilva/fvwm-2.2.4/fvwm
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-recursive'
fjalilva_at_olive:/home/fjalilva/fvwm-2.2.4:( 66 )%


What I have done so far is to run the following commands:

> ./configure --without-cxx

and

> make

and

> make install

All from the following path:
/home/fjalilva/fvwm-2.2.4/

I have not made any changes to my environment or any of the supplies files
for fvwm yet...

Any idea why I am getting this error and if all the steps so far are
correct?

I am installing this on my home directory.

Do I need to modify the configure file for the ac_default_prefix?
# Defaults:
ac_help=
ac_default_prefix=/usr/local

And put my home path where I am installing the fvwm:
/home/fjalilva/fvm-2.2.4/fvwm


Thanks,
Farhad

Chances you have broken C++ development kit. Try: ./configure --without-cxx
