Do I gather correctly you are fairly new to Linux and
installing piecemeal on a tight system? I admire your bravery! What
follows might be totally beneath you, but read it anyhow and blame
yourself for not giving us enough information (Kernel, distribution,
etc, pc specs hd space, etc)
have you tried 'grep' for this $XNLSPATH ? I presume it is a script
error. You can hack the Makefile (gcc options) to stop on any error, or
run make in an X window, and find out what went on.
Have you set $XNLSPATH to /dev/tty7 and see what it says then.
You have read the blurb, haven't you.
FYI, I opened Netscape on my system here, opened a terminal window, and
typed in <echo $XNLSPATH> I got nothing. nada. zero.
