Did you run "./configure" (or some equivalent) before running "make"? Were there any errors during the configure stage? Were there any earlier errors during the make stage? The version.h file in a bash-3.2 build tree should look something like this: /* Version control for the shell. This file gets changed when you say `make version.h' to the Makefile. It is created by mkversion. */ /* The distribution version number of this shell. */ #define DISTVERSION "3.2" /* The last built version of this shell. */ #define BUILDVERSION 1 /* The release status of this shell. */ #define RELSTATUS "release" /* A version string for use by sccs and the what command. */ #define SCCSVERSION "@(#)Bash version 3.2.0(1) release GNU" During the make stage of the build, you should have seen something like this: /bin/sh ./support/mkversion.sh -b -S . -s release -d 3.2 -o newversion.h \ && mv newversion.h version.h If that step didn't occur, or if there was an error during it, then that would explain why your version.h file wasn't generated.
