Re: Failing to do an install in $HOME from git

See also http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm —
it is written for Mercurial but you should have no difficulty adapting
it for git. Beware of false friends however: "hg fetch" corresponds to
"git pull" and vice-versa, and their options may be different. Apart
from getting the sources, the rest, and in particular the necessity of
installing all relevant "development" packages from your distro, and
how to always set consistent configure settings by means of
environment variables, is common to all Unix-like systems. (Depending
on what was updated since last time, a plain [supposedly incremental]
"make" run may sometimes decide that a configure run is needed before
compiling, and you will want to be ready for that eventuality.)

Best regards,
Tony.
