I suspect a permission issue in the /home/sawaya/temp/autogen/autogen-5.11.4/agen5 directory. It looks like you are in the install phase, meaning that the man pages ought to have been built by this time. > make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'. > make[3]: Leaving directory > `/home/sawaya/temp/autogen/autogen-5.11.4/agen5/test' > make[2]: Leaving directory > `/home/sawaya/temp/autogen/autogen-5.11.4/agen5/test' > make[2]: Entering directory `/home/sawaya/temp/autogen/autogen-5.11.4/agen5' > Re-building stamp-man > /home/sawaya/temp/autogen/autogen-5.11.4/agen5/autogen > -L/home/sawaya/temp/autogen/autogen-5.11.4/autoopts/tpl > -L/home/sawaya/temp/autogen/autogen-5.11.4/autoopts/tpl -MFstamp-man -Tagman1 > -bautogen ./opts.def > fserr 13: cannot fopen for write stamp-man-4lRijc: Permission denied > bootstrap failure: FAILED: > /home/sawaya/temp/autogen/autogen-5.11.4/agen5/autogen -Tagman1 -bautogen > ./opts.def > make[2]: *** [stamp-man] Killed "stamp-man" is now a useful file and should contain something like this: # Makefile dependency file created by autogen # with the following command: # /old-home/bkorb/ag/ag/agen5/.libs/autogen # -L/old-home/bkorb/ag/ag/autoopts/tpl # -L/old-home/bkorb/ag/ag/autoopts/tpl # -MFstamp-man # -Tagman1 # -bautogen # ./opts.def AUTOGEN_stamp_man_TList = \ autogen.1 AUTOGEN_stamp_man_SList = \ ./opts.def \ /old-home/bkorb/ag/ag/autoopts/tpl/agman1.tpl \ /old-home/bkorb/ag/ag/autoopts/tpl/agman-lib.tpl stamp-man : $(AUTOGEN_stamp_man_SList) $(AUTOGEN_stamp_man_TList) : stamp-man @: The "-4lRijc" suffix is there only until the command completes correctly. At that point, it is renamed to stamp-man. Two suggestions: 1. make sure "make" finishes before kicking off "make install" 2. when you are building stuff, make sure ${top_builddir}/agen5 is a writable directory. If that is not the issue, then more analysis would be needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Autogen-users mailing list Autogen-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/autogen-users
