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

[Bill Gee]

Hi James -

Confirmed - thbook.pdf is in /usr/share/therion.  Thanks!

The problem with "make install" is not a permissions issue.  The files being copied do not 
exist at their source location.  The compile ran and produced no errors - and also 
produced no output!

You may be on to something regarding nVidia display adapters.  I do use an nVidia 
display adapter and I recently changed to a new one.  I have been using an older 
8400GS.  Unfortunately nVidia decided to stop updating the driver for it.  Their driver 
stopped working with kernel 4.1.6 or thereabouts.  I bought a new GT710 card which is 
supported by nVidia's current driver.  This is the closed-source binary driver straight from 
nVidia.

I have not tried Therion 5.1.4 on any other system yet.  The obvious candidate is my 
laptop which has an Intel display adapter.  I will try to do that soon and post results.  I 
also have some VirtualBox systems where I can install Therion.  VirtualBox provides a 
special display driver for guest systems.
