I don't know if it's the same problem I had
under Linux during the first installation
of lout. I think the installation-file/makefile
doesn't create some of the directories.

Maybe changing the makefile with insertion of
some mkdir-commands, or adding some command line options
for mkdir or copy (or install)?

After the directories are, where they have to be,
the installatio should work.

But maybe my problem only was in older lout-distributions.

To find the problem, look if the files, mentioned in the
error message are where lout expects them.
If so, then maybe the permissions are not set right.
If the files are not there, then maybe the problem with
the directories is worth thinking about.
