As in the real world: if you have rights you can missuse them. If you
don't have any rights, you can't do your job.

This is a compile from the "daily build" downloaded from the mono
website. Nothing CVS or similar.

RedHat 9

I used following lines:
./autogen.sh --prefix=3D/usr
make
make install			<---- here it crashes because of the
missing file

Thanks for any help!
