Hmm. Not here. Looking at the Makefile, I see:

gnome-pty-helper: $(gnome_pty_helper_OBJECTS)
$(gnome_pty_helper_DEPENDENCIES)
        @rm -f gnome-pty-helper
        $(LINK) $(gnome_pty_helper_LDFLAGS) $(gnome_pty_helper_OBJECTS)
$(gnome
pty_helper_LDADD) $(LIBS)

So, no -R (if I am looking in the right place, that is).

And make install says:

 /bin/sh ../libtool  --mode=install .././install-sh -c  gnome-pty-helper
/usr/local/sbin/gnome-pty-helper
.././install-sh -c gnome-pty-helper /usr/local/sbin/gnome-pty-helper
chown root.root /usr/local/sbin/gnome-pty-helper
chown: unknown user id root.root
make[1]: [install-exec-local] Error 2 (ignored)
chmod u+s /usr/local/sbin/gnome-pty-helper

Is the error significant? Please excuse my total ignorance...
The `chown` syntax looks wrong to me. Do I need a GNU chown?
