I had to symlink /usr/local/bin/gmake to 'make'. what the old 'make' says when I try to compile something (i.e. in the ports- collection, but also elsewhere) is: # make *** Error code 1 Stop. I have tried to update ldconfig (ldconfig /usr/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /compat/linux/lib /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib) without any results, I have also tried to recompile make (from /usr/src/usr.bin/make/) - the strangest thing is that 'make' works fine from VCs (I did a make remake as mentioned above from a VC) but it does _not_ work under X. If I am root in an X window and root on a VC, 'make' will not work in the X window on the exact same makefile. some time in the past make worked, so I have probably fucked something up since then. my guess is libs or paths of some sort. I have also upgraded my system from 2.2 GAMMA to 2.2-STABLE FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE #0: Thu Apr 10 19:45:56 MET DST 1997 if some of you could help me out on this I would be very grateful. make my day, -- peter
