Checking whether you have the necessary tools...
(Read INSTALL.REPO for more details on building Emacs)
Checking for autoconf (need at least version 2.65) ... ok
Your system has the required tools.
Running 'autoreconf -fi -I m4' ...
autom4te: cannot lock autom4te.cache/requests with mode 2: \
Operation not supported
autom4te: cannot lock autom4te.cache/requests with mode 2: \
Operation not supported

cp: build-aux/git-hooks/ commit-msg pre-commit \
prepare-commit-msg: No such file or directory
./autogen.sh:360: you have running jobs.

+--- Is it possible to set the target install-dir
after `make' soas not to confuse existing installs?
