OK, symlinked yet another kerberos include file... now I get this rather wacky 
one (trying to make altperl tools):

$ make
[surprisingly quick make process]
$ su -
# make install
[lots of slony make stuff, then...]
for subdir in altperl ; do \
          make -C $subdir install ; \
        done
make[2]: Entering directory 
`/home/philip/installs/slony1-1.1.5-rc2/tools/altperl'
/bin/sh: line 1: show_configuration: Permission denied
chmod: changing permissions of `show_configuration': Operation not permitted
[and so on for each file...]

Now I can see why this is occurring: altperl's 'install' target calls 'all' 
which attempts to chmod the files. In my particular setup (NFS-mounted home 
directory w/ root squash) root cannot chmod my files in my home directory. I 
concede this setup may not be all that common, and easy enough to work around 
(build in local dir like /tmp) but simply removing 'all' from the 'install' 
target fixes the problem.

I reckon this is a reasonable fix - I never su to root until 'make install' 
stage. Are there any objections?

Regards, Philip.
