Hi Kent and Les,

Thanks for the report! I maintain the mentioned instructions, and can 
confirm this error.

It seems something has changed in the latest code, and while the 
installer says:

   Installing library in /usr/local/BackupPC/lib

The lib folders remain empty. The exit status is also OK, so the 
installer may not even see the error. As such it is a bug in the build 
automation.

The lib folder was changed a few days ago by Craig Barratt, mentioning 
significant changes.

I will create an issue with these notes, and link it to the wiki.

Best regards,
Johan Ehnberg
