297	Install all software as an unprivileged user	dsavard@…	gerard@…	"As per instructions in the CVS book. Everything in section 5 should be done by a
unprivileged user, naming lfs.

I think it was a good idea, however, I encountered the following error while
trying to build and install make-3.79.1. The compile completes as well as the
install with the following error at install time:

(...)
/bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /lfs/usr/bin
  /usr/bin/install -c  make /lfs/usr/bin/make
chgrp: you are not a member of group `kmem': Operation not permitted
/lfs/usr/bin/make needs to be owned by group kmem and setgid;
otherwise the `-l' option will probably not work.
You may need special privileges to complete the installation
of /lfs/usr/bin/make.
/bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /lfs/usr/info
(...)

This could be a limitation for those with sophisticated scripts dispatching the
make on many hosts and checking for ressources usage before running the job.
Well, clearly this is not my case, however, it would be better to handle this."	defect	closed	normal		Book	CVS	normal	fixed
