Hi,

I`m trying to run "/var/yp/make" to create my YP database .. just as I
was doing it on the older distribution.. RH5.2.

but I get this error when run from the cron ...

gmake[1]: Entering directory `/'
gmake[1]: ../Makefile: No such file or directory
gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target `../Makefile'.  Stop.
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/'
make: *** [target] Error 2

and this when run from root ..

gmake[1]: Entering directory `/root'
gmake[1]: ../Makefile: No such file or directory
gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target `../Makefile'.  Stop.
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/root'
make: *** [target] Error 2

I tried make with the -C option to change the directory but didn't
change anything.

How come make does not take the ./ directory to look for the Makefile ?
COuld it be a problem with BASH-2 .. or did I forget something.

On another subject when I type "sh" or "tcsh" my shell does not seem to
change, this is the first time I see this under unix .. how does bash
work under Mandrake ?

thanks for any help,
alain
