Makefile bug

[David Meyer]

Hi, Beez.

I just installed 4tH on my Linux box and noticed that there is an error
on 4th-3.64.2/sources/Makefile line 131.

The line is currently:

install -Dm644 ../documentation/4tHmanual.pdf $(DOCDIR)/4th/

... which causes `make install` to fail with the following error:

...
install -Dm644 ../documentation/4tHmanual.pdf /usr/share/doc/4th/
install: cannot create regular file '/usr/share/doc/4th/': Not a directory
make: *** [Makefile:131: install] Error 1

I think line 131 should be changed to:

install -Dm644 ../documentation/4tHmanual.pdf $(DOCDIR)/4th/4tHmanual.pdf

And so 4tH ... ;)

Hi David!

Thank you! Personally - I never used that part of the Makefile. And neither did I write it. That's not an excuse by any measure, but an explanation why it was there for that long. ;-)

I already fixed it, but it may take some time before it shows up in SVN.

Again -- much appreciated!
