[Therion] Therion 5.4.1 on Fedora 25 - Compile fails in loch

Hi James ...

I still have the old loch on my system.  When I start it, I get this:

=======
* bgee * *~ * loch  


It used to work, so some Fedora upgrade has hosed it.  I can't tell what version it is since 
it won't run.  xtherion is version 5.3.16, so this is whatever loch came with that.

I tried your Makefile and received no errors.  Unfortunately it also did not produce any 
executable output files.  "Make install" gave me an error saying that /usr/local/bin/therion 
could not be written.  I traced it down to the root cause - It was trying to copy a file that 
does not exist.

So I went to try out your repository.  That is VERY useful!  I already have it set up for 
survex, so adding therion was easy.

The new version of loch gives the same error on my system as on yours.

One question about the package in your repository - Does it include thbook.pdf?  And if it 
does, where does it put that file?

Thanks - Bill Gee
