build errors for source navigator on FC5
 

Hi,

I'm building source navigator 5.2b on Fedora Core 5 but received this error:

checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ../../../sourcenav-5.2b2/tcl/unix/configure: line 6046: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
../../../sourcenav-5.2b2/tcl/unix/configure: line 6046: ` OSF*)'
configure: error: ../../../sourcenav-5.2b2/tcl/unix/configure failed for unix
configure: error: ../../sourcenav-5.2b2/tcl/configure failed for tcl

Can somebody please help me with this problem? Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem, I think that need a little workaround on configure, or it needs some older libraries. Now, I don't now.

fixed one, get more
 

hi, I am a FC5 user also.

I get the same error when configureing it.
but look at the configure file at line 6033(not 6046):
system=MP-RAS-`awk '{print }' /etc/.relid'`"
---------------------------------------->~~~
obviously, this a script bug.
and, after I fixed it, the configure procedure is going on with more and more bug.

look this:
some_var=`cmd` # it looks like a very correct line

but I must revise it to this following in the whole file:
some_var="`cmd`"

I donnt know how, but it works.

has anyone got a build script that successfully installs and builds sourcenav-5.2b2 on Fedora Linux 2.6.15-1.2054-FC5.

thanks,
ptp

Hi, today I download to build sourcenav sourcenav-5.2b2 on my Mandrake free 2007.
I found some errors in the few scripts. These are the files and the differences:

With these fixes the ./configure run till the end.

I also found errors during the compilation but at the moment I have no time to investigate it.
