>Description:
make install in the gnome-print directory wants to create
$HOME/.gnome
If you've used a sudo-like program which changes user ID to
root, but doesn't reset HOME (or maybe USER) in the environment
_and_ your home directory is on a different machine which is
not exported with -maproot=root, then you loose.

for details
>How-To-Repeat:
set HOME to a non-writable directory,
make install
from /usr/pkgsrc/print/gnome-print
lose...
