Looks to me that the filesystem in /tmp denies permission for
user 'marc'. Wether it cannot mkdir /tmp/.ixp-marc or the
filesystem in /tmp does not support unix socket files, but I
tend to the first suspect.

Check if the files exist and if you can access them. Lemme know
the result.

I don't think that this is a wmii-related bug at all ;)

No, the Makefiles provide the $DESTDIR semantic which actually
should be used for pseudo-roots, ie:

DESTDIR=/tmp/pseudoroot PREFIX=/usr/local/9 make install

will install 9base to /tmp/pseudoroot/usr/local/9, but with the
exception that substituted paths in rcmain script will point to
/usr/local/9 without the DESTDIR prefix.

That is quite common for make-only based source distributions.
