Hi Randall, > Rather than asking one line at a time, can you provide the complete log, > input and output of the attempted operation, including the download and tar?[Mun] [Mun] I downloaded "git-2.41.0.tar.xz" from https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ . Then I ran: $ unxz git-2.41.0.tar.xz $ tar xvf git-2.41.0.tar $ cd git-2.41.0 $ make configure The output of the above command was: GIT_VERSION = 2.41.0 GEN configure $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local |& tee configure_20230814a_RHEL7.out // Output is attached as "configure_20230814a_RHEL7.out" $ make all doc |& tee make_20230814a_RHEL7.out // Output is attached as "make_20230814a_RHEL7.out" I went over the output files but didn't notice anything to cause a fatal error; although, I do have some missing pkgs that I will work on retrieving and installing. Remember, due to corporate security settings, I cannot simply to a 'yum install' of missing pkgs.
