There is a bug in Makefile.in in pl75.  The line "LIBDIR = ." should
be deleted, and a line "LIBDIR = $(prefix)/lib" should be inserted
after the "BINDIR = $(exec_prefix)/bin" line.

The FAQ is written as if this bug were already fixed.  I was looking
at my own copy (which I had fixed) when writing the FAQ instead of a
pristine distribution.  Sorry.

Yep, this is strange all right.  "I/O error" is a serious error; it
means there was a physical error (bad sector) reading or writing your
disk drive.  It's the error code EIO from your Unix kernel.  Check
whether something is wrong with the disk partition holding /tmp on
your machine.
