[AUCTeX] Failure in building CVS-AUCTeX

[Angelo Graziosi]

I want to flag the following failure which occurs when running
.
   make DESTDIR=${dest_dir} install

Has it lost a mkdir -p?

It happens both on GNU/Linux Kubuntu 7.10 and Cygwin.

It DOES NOT happen with (current release of) AUCTeX-11.85, which builds 
fine!


Cheers,
