Amaya Compiling Error

So I downloaded the latest release from Amaya's website, uncompressed it, went into Amaya subdir, created another subdir in it, ran '../configure', and then ran 'gmake all' because they recommend a GNU compiler and after a long-lasting output finally got this:

Code:

Any ideas what the problem is?

Well, I just tried it and it worked for me (amaya-sources-9.53.tgz). My exact commands were:

Code:

tar -xzf amaya-sources-9.53.tgz
cd Amaya9.53
cd Amaya
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
su
<Enter root password>
make install
# for some reason permissions are not set correctly so you must run:
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/amaya-wx

It worked just fine. Check the md5sum to see if your copy is corrupted.

That worked. I was doing 'gmake all' like they showed in the README, but a simple make prevailed.

See, that's why I never read the READMEs ... they mess me up

Well I wouldn't say that, but sometimes they throw in little suggestion which end up being the source of all the problems.

Well, lemme put it this way: If I can't figure it out on my own, then I look at the README or INSTALL, etc. But, it's usually just ./configure; make; make install.
