Description David Magda 2004-12-17 18:50:25 UTC 
I build ports (and run 'make install') as a regular user in the
wheel group. When I tried to do that with the 'nxml' port the build
worked fine, but the installation died.

Here's the error messsage:

myhost:/usr/ports/editors/nxml-emacs21$ make install
===>  Installing for nxml-mode-20041004
===>   nxml-mode-20041004 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/emacs-21.3 - found
mkdir: /usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/site-lisp/nxml: Permission denied
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/editors/nxml-emacs21.
myhost:/usr/ports/editors/nxml-emacs21$


Doing an 'su' and then running 'make install' works fine.

Fix: 

I don't know enough about the Ports system's system to offer one.
How-To-Repeat: 
As a regular user in the 'wheel' group:

$ cd /usr/ports/editors/nxml-emacs21
$ make build
  [ works ]
$ make install
  [ dies ]

Assign to maintainer. 

Fix is to move ${MKDIR} from pre-install to pre-su-install.
