Sorry to follow up my own post here, but I got the sysadm to give me temporary root privs, and was then able to 'configure', 'make' and 'make install' LessTif OK.
But, when I then attempted to 'configure' and 'make' the 'ddd' (Dynamic Display Debugger) from GNU, that fell over with the following: ================================== if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I./.. -O2 -g -Wall -W -Wwrite-strings -trigraphs -MT ScrolledGE.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/ScrolledGE.Tpo" -c -o ScrolledGE.o ScrolledGE.C; \ then mv -f ".deps/ScrolledGE.Tpo" ".deps/ScrolledGE.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/ScrolledGE.Tpo"; exit 1; fi /usr/include/X11/VendorP.h:87: error: previous declaration of 'VendorShellClassRec vendorShellClassRec' with 'C++' linkage /usr/local/include/Xm/VendorSP.h:58: error: conflicts with new declaration with 'C' linkage make[2]: *** [ScrolledGE.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/kwillis/downloads/ddd-3.3.9/ddd' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kwillis/downloads/ddd-3.3.9/ddd' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 ================================== which looks to me rather like the LessTif headers conflicting with the X11 headers. Just for completeness, I have also tried OpenMotif, but couldn't even get that to build at all :-( Regards, Keith -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keith Willis Sent: 07 January 2008 13:02 To: lesstif List Subject: [Lesstif-discuss] Build question Hello, I have been trying to build and install the lesstif package on this machine which is running Redhat linux[1]. Since I do not have root access, I tried the normal mechanism for a local install: ./configure --prefix=/home/kwillis this completed successfully. make this completed successfully. make install this failed with: make[3]: Entering directory `/home/kwillis/downloads/lesstif-0.95.0/scripts/autoconf' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. test -z "/usr/share/aclocal" || mkdir -p -- "/usr/share/aclocal" /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'ac_find_motif.m4' '/usr/share/aclocal/ac_find_motif.m4' /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/aclocal/ac_find_motif.m4': Permission denied Can someone please help me out with what I need to do to get a local install working? TIA!
