Ok... I have finally been completely successful upgrading Mac OS X to
5.6.1. There has been some amount of traffic on the subject and I'd like
to consolidate everything into one post for posterity:
1) Make sure you decompress the tar file with gzip and tar... do NOT
decompress from Mac OS 9.x or from a Classic program such as Stuffit.
2) Make sure you
setenv LC_ALL C
setenv LANG "en_US"
(assuming that "en_US" applies to you. :-D) This will prevent most of
the warnings during the make tests. (I had 4 out of 251 fail. "Test 303"
(filehandle open only for output), lib/db-btree, "Test 51" (re: Berkeley
DB), and lib/posix.)
3) Here's the order of commands that works for me:
rm -f config.sh Policy.sh
sh Configure -ds -e -Dprefix=/usr -Dccflags="-g -pipe"
-Dfirstmakefile=GNUmakefile
make
make test
mv install install.txt # Necessary because INSTALL eq install on
OS X
make install
And there you go. Hopefully this will be useful to someone.
