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

P.S. After a failed configure, or after installing additional software
packages, you may want to run "make reconfig" (with configure settings
in the environment) in order to discard whatever was left over from
the previous configure run. This particular make target runs configure
first from a clean slate, and then proceeds to compile and link if the
configure step doesn't end in an error.

Best regards,
Tony.
