No, but something like 'make PBS_MKDIRS=/bin/true install' might work.

Or lie to it, 'make PBS_SERVER_HOME=/tmp/foome install'.

Thanks.  I'll have it ignore the "none" scheduler.

Those chown calls made packaging rather difficult.

Should we make those chmod calls non-fatal and just complain loudly?
