+<strong>Solved - see Buo's suggestion below</strong>

I'm using ikiwiki on a shell account/hosting site where I can build but have no root privileges. I went to build 2.49 last night, but make fails with the following error:
<pre><code>/home/telemachus/bin/perl -Iblib/lib ikiwiki.out -libdir . -setup docwiki.setup -refresh
> The only workaround I've found is to completely remove any previous ikiwiki
> installation that might be present on the system. --Buo

+Thanks, Buo. I removed the traces of the previous ikiwiki, and I was able to install. No luck getting the new search plugin to work, but we'll leave that for another day. Thanks again.

+Quick follow-up: 2.50 compiled and installed without a hitch. Just thought I would mention it...
