[Note]

Note

If you switch to the root user in a manner which causes the PRE environment variable to be unset, ensure you set it again before installing the package.

make tooldir=$PRE/lib/gnome-applets install &&
make -C man install-man &&
chmod -v 644 $PRE/share/gnome/help/\
{gtik2_applet2/C/*.xml,cpufreq-applet/{C,uk}/legal.xml}

Remove the variable from the unprivileged user's environment using the following command:

unset PRE
