I haven't had this many errors doing a make in a long, long, long, long time... maybe never. (I'm saying that I'm guessing here....) It could be that you were in the wrong directory when you ran "make" or, more likely, you skipped a command (perhaps ".configure") that should have been run before running "make". Did a README file come with this tarball? If so, did you try looking through it for specific instructions? On 05/16/2011 02:43 AM John J.
