Please try to restrict your email contents to things which are likely to have caused the problem. For example, unpacking the tarball is not likely to have been a problem: we don't need to see a transcript of that step (unless that's what failed). If the "make install" step is what failed then that's the stuff we need to see. Additionally you are missing critical information, such as the type of system and version of OS you're trying to build on. Thanks! kk> make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/make-3.80/po' kk> /bin/sh `case "config/mkinstalldirs" in /*) echo "config/mkinstalldirs" ;; *) echo "../config/mkinstalldirs" ;; esac` /usr/local/share kk> mkdir kk> mkdir: cannot create directory `': No such file or directory Wow, that's very strange. It almost seems like you have a buggy shell as /bin/sh on your box: I'd need to know what kind of system you're using and which shell is /bin/sh. Try this, as an experiment and send me the output: $ cd make-3.80/po $ /bin/sh -x ../config/mkinstalldirs /usr/local/share -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
