Fails to install when configured with --prefix=/usr/local

[Retropikzel]

When running:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install

I get an error, some lines removed:

yes, thats a bug in the build -- tries to create the libdir before install. We got to fix before release, it shouldn't write anything outside the build dir before install and it is mildly annoying.

I think we already have an issue for this.

[vyzo]

Ah, wait this is new! It is the install script that mess up. It should be actually easy to fix, care for a patch?

[Retropikzel]

What is it supposed to do? I think some time back I tried to fix it and changed it into "rm -rf" and it wiped out my /usr/local/bin.

[vyzo]

Ouch. I think the logic of removing the directory is just faulty.

Mea culpa, i wrote it and i install in /usr/local/gerbil normally, so never noticed.
