Re: Scrollkeeper-update permission denied and stopping the build

[Ed Martin <edman007x mac com>]

i'm not sure if i mentioned this one the list, but the fix was simple, 
iirc it was fixed by running `mkdir $GARNOME/var/lib/scrollkeeper` and 
then running make install again (i might of copied /var/lib/scrollkeeper 
to that location too, but i'm not sure if thats needed), i guess there 
is something wrong with the install scripts that cause it not to make 
the directory (in fact when i upgraded gnome from 2.14.0 to 2.14.1 it 
actually deleted the directory causing it to fail again, and i had to 
recreate it, so maybe its creating it and then deleting it for some reason)
