They are just something you learn to live with. I am pushing for an andrew partition but I have to get it built and installed first. I handmade the doc subdirectory and tried dependInstall again. This time it installed Imakemacros.d but failed on the next one. install -c -m 0444 config/andyenv.h /sunsrc/andrew_dir/include/andyenv.h install: /sunsrc/andrew_dir/include/andyenv.h: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 }Perhaps the top-level destination directory does not exist ? (i.e. }DESTDIR = /foo/bar/baz, and /foo/bar does not exist) As you can see above /sunsrc/andrew_dir does indeed exist. Also permissions should not be causing a problem since I was building Andrew as "root". -Cameron Cameron Humphries Discipline of Computer Science email: cameron@cs.flinders.oz.au School of Information Science and Technology phone: +61 +8 201 2874 The Flinders University of South Australia fax : +61 +8 201 2904
