I've noticed a problem lately when trying to install files using configure
and make on my machine. It didn't used to happen, but lately when I try to
install programs, note below how make tries to install files in a
/usr/local/doc subdirectory, overwriting exisiting ones, and then placing
the files configure and config.cache in /usr/local/bin. What is causingthis
to happen? Where is make getting that path of /usr/local/doc/vsh? I don't
have it in my root path, I checked. I am just perplexed and wonder if you
have any insight into why make would be doing this or what I should be
looking at. Running redhat 6.2.
