 Solution: Edit "generate_svn_version.sh" to put quotes around an argument (see https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/ticket/1253)

+(Apparently 'make install' is not the correct way to install. What _is_ the correct way?)

+Once compilation succeeded, run:

+Once you run `make install`, a few problems may occur.

+Make breaks off with:
+
+{{{
+/usr/bin/install -c -d /etc/init.d
+/usr/bin/install -c -b ./boinc-client /etc/init.d/boinc-client
+/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/etc/init.d/boinc-client': Permission denied
+}}}
+
+This happens if you don't want to 'make install' as root. Edit {{{client/scripts/Makefile}}} and zero out the 'install-exec-hook' make target (see https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/ticket/1255)
