[GRASSLIST:3695] Grass5.0.0pre4's 'make install' dies looking for dist.X/locale

[H. Bowman]

Grass5.0.0pre4 is out apparently.

Kudos to all. Time to beat on the new shape file importers.. :)
The configure summary is a nice touch.


Configured it (with everything but NLS support), compiled it. No errors. 
Upon 'make install', it hums though until it gets to this:

test -d /usr/src/grass5source/grass5.0.0pre4/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/locale 
&&
  /bin/sh -c "cd 
/usr/src/grass5source/grass5.0.0pre4/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu ;
  tar cBf - locale | (cd /usr/local/grass5 ; tar xBf - ) 2>/dev/null ; 
true"
make[1]: *** [real-install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/grass5source/grass5.0.0pre4'
make: *** [install] Error 2


Trouble is, there is no ./dist.X/locale directory.


Noticed this post on the developers' mailing list:
  Subject: [GRASS5] Re: [GRASS-CVS] markus: grass Makefile.in,1.94,1.95
  URL:     http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass5/2002-May/003082.html

but could not find any other information on the subject.

This occurs for me on both i686/Linux/Debian Woody-3.0 and 
i686/Linux/Redhat 7.3 machines.

so... I just mkdir'd the missing directory and it made it through install, 
things run.

My question is:
Will this little work-around make strange things happen? Have I missed out 
on any goodies? Or should I just move on? (I do not need specific 
localization)


Also noticed "Stop all X monitors" upon Tck/Tk Quit, doesn't. 
Display->Monitors->Stop works fine.


Thanks as always.
