install-sh has wrong permissions
System
Mac OS X 10.4.8 for PPC (G4) with GHC 6.4.1 installed.
Description
On this system, neither the source or binary tarballs will install. When the user enters sudo make install the install prcess fails, saying that there and insufficient permissions to run install-sh. (Unfortunately, I did not preserve the original error message.)
Steps to Reproduce
Source tarball
To reproduce the error message:
- Download and extract the tarball.
- Run
./configure - Run
make - Run
sudo make installand enter the correct password. - Observe that the install fails with permission errors.
Binary tarball
To reproduce the error message:
- Download and extract the tarball.
- Install according to instructions.
- Observe that the install fails with permission errors.
Workaround
Source tarball
Make install-sh executable by running chmod +x install-sh in the build directory.
Binary tarball
Not tested but will probably be the same as the source tarball.
