I like to upgrade to release 4.0. So I used cvs to update the src, doc and crypto. I started 'make world' after the source update. The process run for a while and then aborted with the following errors. The error message give here is the last lines displayed before the stop code. -----Error Message Begin here ----- install-info --quiet --defsection="Programming & development tools." --defentry="* libcom_err: (com_err). A common Error Description Library for UNIX. com_err.info /usr/share/info/dir install-info: unrecognised option `--defsection=Programming & development tools Try `install-info --help` for a complete list of options. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. hostname:username#_ ----Error message ends ----- Can anyone identify what is causing the problem. Because the 'make world' did not complete I only can boot into my old kernel. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Also is there any way I can capture the message displayed on the console screen so I can email it as attachment instead of typing the error message.
