I make it through the configuration just fine, but when I attempt to run the make command, I receive the following error message. I am creating a custom install. The only parameter I am changing is the installation location. make: don't know how to make . Stop. I have run make depend, and it finishes without any problems. I'm sure this is something simple I am missing because I have been looking at the problem for so long. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Jay
