Yeah, this bit me earlier this week. The Makefile looked a bit antiquated - it tries to install by copying, and I think the error is probably something to do with /usr/man being a symlink on our systems. Fixed it here by replacing the book's install with install -v -m 0755 zip zipnote zipsplit zipcloak /usr/bin install -v -m 0644 man/zip.1 /usr/share/man/man1 Ken -- das eine Mal als Trag�die, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
