Description fuqnbastard 2004-07-03 14:46:53 UTC
The problem is the Makefile looking in the $USER variable instead calling whoami. See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4007333&forum_id=36225 for a more detailed description and the fix.

that's because people incorrectly run `su` instead of `su -`
