I am very new to Linux and am trying to install squid on my computer. I have Suse Professional 9.2. I downloaded the tarball and ran the configure program. When I run "make all" it seems to do okay but ends the the message [all-recursive] Error 1. If i run "make install I get the same message. No other occurance of "error", "Error" or "ERROR" in the make output. Thanks for any help you can offer.

you are gonna have to post the relevant info, the recursive error alone means nothing. post about the last 20 lines or so, or anything with "No such file or directory", "command not found", etc...

Make is really just a list of instructions for compiling something from source. The errors actually occur with either compilation or linking, so you'll have to post more information from further up.

This morning when I tried to run the "make all" I didn't get the Error message; so I ran the "make install" and got two of them as it finished. Again, thanks for your help.

Here are the last 40 or so lines of the "make install" command.

just a guess, but it must be a problem with your environment/development environment. STABLE9 compiles and installs fine for me on a slackware box.

why dont you install it with yast suqid is on the cd you dont need to compile it as its in rpm already, just start yast click "install and remove software" and then search for squid tick the box next to squid in the right side and then click accpet

if it doesnt find it look for it on a suse mirror or try
