I received several helpful replies from people suggesting that they had successfully made it without the problem I encountered. The problem seems to be that I was trying to make it on an NFS mounted directory. After moving the source to a local disk, I was able to make it. This brings up another question. Why can't I make GNU on a remote file system? After all, when you have 11M of source, its nice to be able to stick it on a big server somewhere. I don't know enough about NFS to hazard a guess. --phil-- -- Phil Windley | windley@iris.ucdavis.edu Division of Computer Science | ucbvax!ucdavis!iris!windley College of Engineering | (916) 752-7324 (or 3168) University of California, Davis | Davis, CA 95616
