Looks like perhaps you have files in your CVS directory that are not owned by you --- did you maybe run "cvs update" as root by accident? > cvs update: Updating symbols > cvs update: cannot remove src/shapelib/contrib/tests: Permission denied > cvs [update aborted]: cannot open src/shapelib/contrib/CVS: Permission denied > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/xastir$ > ***************************************************** > > Here is the result of last part of ./configure > > config.status: creating src/rtree/Makefile > config.status: creating src/shapelib/Makefile > config.status: error: cannot find input file: src/shapelib/Makefile.in > > ********************************************************* There is clearly something wrong with your CVS directory, because cvs is getting permission denied errors when you update. You need to fix that problem before you can expect the stuff downstream of it to work properly. Clearly, the shapelib directory didn't get updated, so when configure tries to use it there are errors. Try this from your top-level xastir directory: ls -l CVS If you see any files there that are owned by root (or by any user other than va7gq), then you need to "chmod" them. Assuming your other files are all owned by va7gq and that your va7gq user is in the va7gq group, you'd do that this way: sudo chown -R va7gq:va7gq . from the top level of the xastir directory. This sets all files in the entire directory tree to be owned by user va7gq (the thing before the colon) and group va7gq (the thing after the colon). You have to do this as root (or with sudo) otherwise you'll get permission denied errors when you try to change ownership of files from root to yourself. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
