Re: ANNOUNCE: Terminal v0.9.5

[Robson Cardoso dos Santos]

Hi, when I try to make a package for Arch Linux I got this error message:

------------------
This is gnustep-make 2.0.7. Type 'make print-gnustep-make-help' for help.
*ERROR*: the software is configured to install itself into /opt/GNUstep/System
but you do not have permissions to write in that directory:
Aborting installation.
-------------------

So, whith this patch, the error disappears (at least for a Arch package)

--------------------

Is this Ok? It's working well so far.
