During configuration process, I forgot to tell both the Boehm-Weiser garbage 
collector and GMP, where to put documentation files. Now I have fixed the 
file src/configure.in, so that both GMP and the BW-GC are configured with 
--prefix=ecl/build, and they do not try to install things where they 
shouldn't.

Thanks for pointing out this. On most machines I work with, I can only build 
ECL on my home directory, and it is difficult to detect such a bug.

That issue should be solved. As a side note, I now use the script 
"mkinstalldirs" that comes with BW-GC and GMP to build the destination 
directories when ECL is installed. This should solve some problems that 
people had when we used GNU install to build the directories.
