so i downloaded the suse personal distro, and i'm slowly getting stuff on it that needs to be on it. specifically i got gcc working, thanks to a thread here on linuxquestions.

now i'm having trouble with the program 'make'. i found out, by trying to use it, that suse 9.1 personal download doesn't come with make on it.

so i downloaded make version make-3.80, and i'm following the directions to install it.

directions say to run the config file (./configure), then afterwards, if you don't have make already installed on your system, run 'sh build.sh'.

so i ran the config file, and afterwards i went to run the build.sh file.

it went through compiling up through hash.c with no problems. when it tries to compile remote-@REMOTE@.c it comes back with this:

i'm not sure what to do, can someone help me with this? thanks in advance!

yea that's a bug that will be fixed in the next make release
for now i think use Make binary package for Suse 9.1

I'd suggest you just go and download the SuSE
rpm's for the respective packages, rather than
trying to build everything from source.


Cheers,

alright, thank you very much for your input. i'v edone this (rpm package) and it worked perfectly. i'm just glad it wasn't something i was doing wrong-this says that i'm doing things right and am getting the hang of things linux.
