gnome-hello: strange scrollkeeper errors.

[Murray Cumming Comneon com]

I'm getting odd scrollkeeper errors when distchecking gnome-hello [1]

I get _lots_ of these errors:
  Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such file
or directory
I remember seeing these with an old version of GTK+ but I don't know what
the solution was.

Then I see a _lot_ of things like this:
 
/home/murrayc/cvs/gnome2/gnome-hello/gnome-hello-2.0.2/=inst/var/scrollkeepe
r/index/253
 
/home/murrayc/cvs/gnome2/gnome-hello/gnome-hello-2.0.2/=inst/var/scrollkeepe
r/scrollkeeper_docs

and then a simple, mysterious
  make: *** [distcheck] Error 1

I would appreciate any advice. Everything is in the gnome-hello module if
anyone would like to investigate. The ChangeLog might be relevant.


[1] gnome-hello is meant to be our example of an ideal set of build files,
and maybe some sensible source code for an application. gedit is no longer
suitable for this purpose.
