Greetings. 

Not sure if this is the right place, but I thought I would try here
first.

I am trying to get the latest xffm (4.3.3.1) from xffm.sf.net built
and tested so I can update the version in fedora-extras. 

It looks like it has an issue building as a non-root user. It has a
hard coded path in the docs in 'install-exec-am'. 

I can probibly patch around it, but it would be good to get fixed
upstream. Is this the right place to ask? Any ideas on a quick fix?

Here's the tail of the build log... happy to provide any additional
information...
