    _______________________________________________________

Details:

I'm compiling on CentOS 6 for a non-admin install. If I configure with 

./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local


Then when I run `make' I end up with this error


creating .DOCSTRINGS from .cc source files
/bin/sh: .DOCSTRINGS: Permission denied
make[3]: *** [.DOCSTRINGS] Error 1


Using the --disable-docs flag

./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local --disable-docs

`make' runs just fine.

Also, if I just use the defaule configuration

./configure

`make' also works fine. Though I won't be able to actually run `make install'.
