I didn't want to mess up my local known-good install of NetworkManager, so I ran ``make install -k'' as my local user instead (so the install succeeds, with the exception of modifying /lib). So perhaps another fix is needed here, to fix the configure scripts in case a local prefix is specified; or add a flag to configure to allow local installs of NetworkManager (which would disable modifying /lib and maybe disable the check-if-file-owned-by-root check for plugins). I think the documentation should describe how to run multiple NM versions.You can overwrite the UDEV dir (which defaults to /lib/udev). Just ./configure --prefix=/tmp/NM --with-udev-dir=/tmp/NM/lib/udev ...
[for the record] I pushed http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=e1de236db1de03fbd1384040dfe0ecb0223fc2f0 to master. now the option --without-udev-dir works as expected. Thomas
