But this looks like a general unixy type of problem. I'd guess that ./temacs is a binary for some other machine. The Sun2 can't interpret it as a binary, and so assumes it's a shell script - hence the " not found" message. Perhaps if you remove ./temacs, the makefile will make you a correct one? -- Nick Rothwell, Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science, Edinburgh. nick@lfcs.ed.ac.uk !mcvax!ukc!lfcs!nick ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ...while the builders of the cages sleep with bullets, bars and stone, they do not see your road to freedom that you build with flesh and bone.
