Crisis kinda over...

Sequence that led me to believe below.

make

Lots and lots of stuff looking like:

/usr/include/netdb.h:43:24: /usr/local/include/bits/netdb.h: Permission
denied
In file included from maincli.c:1:
ccasst.h:7:21: /usr/local/include/sys/uio.h: Permission denied
In file included from ccasst.h:7,
                 from maincli.c:1:
/usr/include/sys/uio.h:29:22: /usr/local/include/bits/uio.h: Permission
denied
In file included from maincli.c:1:
ccasst.h:8:23: /usr/local/include/arpa/inet.h: Permission denied

....

[carlos at coeus ass1]$ locate netdb.h uio.h inet.h
/usr/include/bits/netdb.h
/usr/include/bits/uio.h
/usr/include/arpa/inet.h

It appears as though a config file for
#include <etc/etc.h> <-- this bit
Is now looking at /usr/local instead of /usr

Anyone know how to change it back?

TIA

Carl
