make install fails when GZIP defined in environment #5595
Comments
Lovely. But also install-sh looks for GZIPPROG and not GZIP, so that too needs to be corrected. Will change everything to use GZIPPROG (and do the right configure test for its availability...) |

"env GZIP=-n make install" fails, ending with:
gzip: /bin/gzip.gz: Permission denied
Makefile:151: recipe for target 'install-data' failed
make[1]: *** [install-data] Error 1
Makefile:166: recipe for target 'install-data' failed
make: *** [install-data] Error 1
