make install failed

[scratter]

Hi,

Sorry if my question is stupid, but when i "make install" i get this error :

install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 bsdfan /bin/bsdfan install -o root -g wheel -m 444 bsdfan.debug /usr/lib/debug/bin/bsdfan.debug install -o root -g wheel -m 444 bsdfan.1.gz /man/man1/ install: /man/man1/: No such file or directory *** Error code 71 Stop. make: stopped in /root/bsdfan

I had the same problem. Somehow localbase defaults to "/" instead of "/usr/local". Use this command instead:

make install LOCALBASE=/usr/local

Since recently, one does not have to build it manually, but install from the port (or binary package) instead, which takes care of those things.
