Unlike cron, incron does not report stderr or failure. This makes it hard to debug, which is the subject of another outstanding bug report.
The enviornment in which the incron job executes is not the login environment, AFAICT. That could account for a command failing to execute. Try wrapping your make command in a shell script that calls logger to see more. Run the wrapper from incron. #!/bin/bash logger -t incrontest -p user.notice Started /usr/bin/make -C /home/andres/maps > /tmp/ic.log 2>&1 logger -t incrontest -p user.notice "Finished: $?"
