LINUX FORMAT MAGAZINE SOFTWARE April 2004


I have tried to compile two programs from this mag namely Perl and Pydar and I cant get any rogram to compile even though I follow the instructions to the letter ie ./configure,cd to directory and then make and make install.I cannot get past the make command.One thing I do different from the magazine instructions is to first copy the cd software to my home directory before trying to compile, instead of compiling straight from the cd which doesnt work either.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Dave

Try copying them off the cd and then checking that they are not read only.
