(Where have I heard caracal before?)
I have no idea what that error means ... I'll ask tido (Linux maintainer), he probably knows. (Unless you're trying to compile what's in SVN/trunk right now - that will probably fail miserably).

Hmm... apart from trying to build the very latest SVN build, the other reason might be that you don't have access to making a directory. Prep makes missing directories to put binaries in.

The point was that you should
avoid the latest SVN "build". Stick to releases.

Ahem. Yes. Maybe it would be good idea to only keep things that compile on all platforms in trunk, ehehehe ^.^)'
Hopefully tido will fix the makefiles soon (hint hint). 8-)
