>Description:
print/latex2slides tries to create a directory at $HOME even if it's not asked to install locally (which is a bug in the install script).
here's proof on a system where $HOME is read-only in a jail
================================
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./install", line 299, in <module>
os.mkdir(USER_DIR) # make sure USER_DIR exists
OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/root/.latex2slides/'
*** Error code 1
================================
patch to fix this below. Ports should not be modifying $HOME directories as part of a package build.
add it to port as "files/patch-install"
