can you configure with this option?

 --disable-rpath

The libtool manual suggests it:

http://sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_88.html

If disabling it does not work for you then I will remove it.

I ran make dist and unpacked the tarball. I did not see any files ending
in ~.

I tried 644 instead of 755 but I could not read the directories. actions
had this permission:

drw-r--r-- 3 root root  4096 2009-01-15 09:42 actions

When I do:

ls /usr/local/share/denemo/actions/

I get:

ls: cannot access /usr/local/share/denemo/actions/Makefile.am:
Permission denied
ls: cannot access /usr/local/share/denemo/actions/NumericKeypad.cmdset:
Permission denied
ls: cannot access /usr/local/share/denemo/actions/init.denemo:
Permission denied
ls: cannot access /usr/local/share/denemo/actions/Makefile.in:
Permission denied
ls: cannot access /usr/local/share/denemo/actions/Default.cmdset:
Permission denied
ls: cannot access /usr/local/share/denemo/actions/Makefile: Permission
denied
ls: cannot access /usr/local/share/denemo/actions/menus: Permission
denied
Default.cmdset  init.denemo  Makefile  Makefile.am  Makefile.in  menus
NumericKeypad.cmdset

Its weird it says permission denied then at the end it lists the file. 

less /usr/local/share/denemo/actions/Default.cmdset
won't allow me to read it. while the permission is:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 70965 2009-01-15 09:42 Default.cmdset

So will I have to create a makefile.am for every subdirectory inside of
actions? I wrote a script to do this that we could possibly use and
would resolve this issue.
