roo tail, make Error 127, /bin/sh: rman: command not found
 

Hey everyone,

Please be patient with me as I am still a bit of a no0b with linux, I am running Slackware 10.2 with default kernal install and am having a problem when trying to install root tail. I am following the README included with the source, using the command:

xmkmf -a

I get this output:


mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
make Makefiles
make: Nothing to be done for `Makefiles'.
make includes
make: Nothing to be done for `includes'.
make depend
gccmakedep -- -I/usr/X11R6/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -DNO_MESSAGE_CATALOG -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -- root-tail.c
/bin/sh: gccmakedep: command not found
make: *** [depend] Error 127

Then I tried just for the hell of it:

make

and get this:

rm -f root-tail.1x.html root-tail.1x-html
rman -f HTML < root-tail._man \
> root-tail.1x-html && mv -f root-tail.1x-html root-tail.1x.html
/bin/sh: rman: command not found
make: *** [root-tail.1x.html] Error 127

Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to correct this issue and/or what might be causing it?

Thanks a buch

gccmakedep and rman are missing.

rman http://polyglotman.sourceforge.net/

I cannot find source page for gccmakedep, Debian package is found at http://packages.debian.org/testing/x11/xutils-dev

When I slocate gccmakedep and rman I find both of them, but they are in /usr/X11R6/bin. So they are here maybe just not in the right spot....? Any ideas on how I would get the script to look there?

Thanks again

I somewhat feel confused, why they are under X11?? I do not think they are wherever supposed to be.

reinstall them, and see what happens.

Hmm thats strange, its from a fresh install of slackware 10.2.......... well I guess that I could reinstall them, is there any way that I could leave them be and link to them or something?

Thanks
