Hello all - Ok, some more info is gathered.
Sh is bash - I checked - I'm glad that at least I knew how to do that. I thought I may have figured it out in that I created a directory /OWFS/ not /owfs/, I didn't know if the caps in the sub name would make a difference, but it doesn't appear so. One thing, I've got some QNX experience but not Linux, the /owfs/ directory is at the root of the drive, not at /root/owfs/, I'm not used to a "/root/" directory, so I'm not sure if the directory location would make a difference. Here's what I get when doing the bootstrap (cut & pasted from terminal window): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/owfs# sh ./bootstrap : command not found: /usr/share/aclocal/xmms.m4:17: warning: underquoted definition of XMMS_TEST_VERSION run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal /usr/share/aclocal/xmms.m4:62: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_XMMS /usr/share/aclocal/pilot-link.m4:1: warning: underquoted definition of AC_PILOT_LINK_HOOK /usr/share/aclocal/nspr.m4:8: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_NSPR /usr/share/aclocal/imlib.m4:9: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_IMLIB /usr/share/aclocal/imlib.m4:167: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_GDK_IMLIB /usr/share/aclocal/gtk.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_GTK /usr/share/aclocal/glib.m4:8: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_GLIB /usr/share/aclocal/gdk-pixbuf.m4:12: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_GDK_PIXBUF /usr/share/aclocal/audiofile.m4:12: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_AUDIOFILE /usr/share/aclocal/aalib.m4:12: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_AALIB Run './configure' and 'make' to build owfs [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/owfs# Here's the results from configure: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/owfs# sh ./configure Configuring owfs-2.6p0 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes : command not foundnstall/missing: line 5: : command not foundnstall/missing: line 10: : command not foundnstall/missing: line 15: : command not foundnstall/missing: line 20: : command not foundnstall/missing: line 25: 'owfs/src/scripts/install/missing: line 41: syntax error near unexpected token `in 'owfs/src/scripts/install/missing: line 41: `case "$1" in configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for test... /usr/bin/test checking for rm... /usr/bin/rm checking for g++... g++ checking for C++ compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C++ compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes checking for style of include used by make...

Try this, at a root prompt for OWFS first activate script by typing script <filename> where that's your captured output file name. Then launch confgure by typing again at a root prompt ./configure with your favorite series of settings outside of the defaults. And then please post the relevant portion of that entire file. I am using the exact same distribution as you except not with KDE and I've found it works rather well. Also please discontinue using HTML mail, it costs more to store it on the archive, and Mailmain (The program used) does not like it. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
