Why does the permission in GW> the source tree matter? Are you using a funny version of install? It was the only thing installed in bin that missed the x permission. The install is, I think, a home-brewn script. It says: Usage: install [-c] [-s] [-o own] [-g grp] [-m mode] src dst Or: install [-o own] [-g grp] [-m mode] -d dir option c : copy (obsolete) option s : try to strip dst option o : (possibly numeric) owner ident option g : (possibly numeric) group ident option m : mode (in octal eg 755 ) src : must be readable file dst : file or directory The Makefile in xdvik doesn't give any mode parameters, so how should the install script know that it should add the x permission? $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) $(srcdir)/xdvizilla $(scriptdir)/xdvizilla $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) = install -c. -- Piet van Oostrum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP] Private email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
