Bingo! It looks like 'make install' does not create this diriectory before trying to write to it. So mkdir -p or mkpath or something like that (whatever is portable) is probably missing. Creating this directory by hand makes this error go away and make install almost succeeds. The next error is about missing pam_appl.h, I seem to have seen and fixed this problem a year ago when first compiling unpatched XFree CVS on Debian. installing in programs/xdm... make[3]: Entering directory `/home/mroos/compile/xc/programs/xdm' rm -f auth.o gcc -c -O2 -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wundef -I../.. -I../../exports/include -Dlinux -D__sparc__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DBINDIR=\"/usr/local/XFree/bin\" -DXDMDIR=\"/usr/local/XFree/lib/X11/xdm\" -DUSESHADOW -DUSE_PAM -DUNIXCONN -DTCPCONN -DHAS_STICKY_DIR_BIT -DHAS_FCHOWN -DGREET_USER_STATIC -DOSMAJORVERSION=2 -DOSMINORVERSION=4 -DXPM -DUSE_XINERAMA auth.c In file included from auth.c:44: dm.h:105: security/pam_appl.h: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [auth.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/mroos/compile/xc/programs/xdm' make[2]: *** [install] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mroos/compile/xc/programs' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mroos/compile/xc' make: *** [install] Error 2 > You might want to try to start X with a few fonts first, just to be sure > its not a out of something error. I need to finish 'make install' first then I will try running it :) -- Meelis Roos ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
