Re: [Chicken-users] Installing as non-root fails with Chicken 2.732

[Tero Kukola]

Hello,

I guess the info stuff was the only thing that it didn't install. 
Despite the make status is okay it looks very much like an error (e.g. a 
valid error accidentally suppressed).

To John Cowan:
Perhaps installation of the info should be silently skipped when 
installing as non-root?
