The problem is that rc.local should only contain local customizations, and it should not be in the source tree, *or* it should be renamed to something else than rc.local, e.g. rc.too.lazy.to.move.this.to.rc.and.nuke.this.file. > but someone recently > broke `make install' to always install "missing" files. Amen. Although it's useful to be told about missing files, installing them should be left to the operator. After all, if you really want it there, you only need to install it once, but if you *don't* want it there, you'll have to remove it manually after every make install, or write a wrapper script to do it.
