[GnomeMeeting-list] Non Root Installation Problem

[Shobhit Raj Mathur <shobhit cs washington edu>]

hi!

I have tried to install gm as non-root user from the sources. I have 
supplied the prefix switch and pwlib-dir and openh323-dir switches too. I 
get a problem during the 'make install' step. The installation tries to 
create directories in /etc/gconf nad ends up in an error. I dont know why 
it tries to do this .. I have even tried using the --sysconfdir switch .. 
but still it doesn't work .. 

can someone help me out .. the log is given below
