Figured out from the ooinstall perl script that script dies if it could not copy. There is no check if the file or symlink already exists.Ok - well, that is a great bug to fix in the perl script itself ;-) it'd be lovely to have 'make_install' work again. IMHO we should unlink before we copy - so we don't tread through symlinks by mistake.
Have attached the patch for the same. Tested it in my environment and it works fine. Probably takes up an additional minute to remove all the symlinks/files before copying them again. But better than actually me removing the install directory manually. [ I also heard from IRC this might be a bug with ubuntu only, but then this should not break anywhere ] -- regards Suren Learning > Doing Learn By doing.
