You just need to run "chmod o+r $INSTALL/share/gui/tclIndex" to fix that.

You can install with the prefix, like so:
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/sourcenav
Then remove it like so:
rm -rf ${HOME}/sourcenav
You can also find binaries at:
ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/sourceware/sourcenav/releases/binaries/
Of course, if you already build it yourself you don't need a binary.
