The 'make install' died at one point (when 'install -C' was called) but I got this by doing 'make install' from the /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall directory. Now doing the 'make install' from /usr/src was able to go much further, but it died with the following output: ===> gnu/usr.bin/cvs/contrib install -c -o bin -g bin -m 555 ccvs-rsh rcs2log clmerge cln_hist commit_prep cvs_acls cvscheck log log_accum mfpipe rcs-to-cvs rcs2log rcslock sccs2rcs easy-import /usr/share/examples/cvs/contrib usage: install [-Ccdps] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 file2; or file1 ... fileN directory *** Error code 1 Stop. So... what do I do now? Is the makefile in this directory busted or something? thanks very much, --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu "I read somewhere to learn is to Information Technology Services remember... and I've learned that Eastern Nazarene College we've all forgot..." - King's X -------------------------------------------------------------------------
