Hi Mark, I agree with the suggestion -- I just don't agree with the method of going about solving the problem. Here's what I have: Index: INSTALL =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/ltp/ltp/INSTALL,v retrieving revision 1.34 diff -u -r1.34 INSTALL --- INSTALL 12 Nov 2009 12:08:09 -0000 1.34 +++ INSTALL 6 Jan 2010 02:35:43 -0000 @@ -127,13 +127,15 @@ 3> ./configure 4> make all 5> make install -6> ./runalltests.sh - -*NOTE: The LTP assumes the existence of the nobody, bin, and daemon users and -their groups.
