Here's the last few lines of make install. I have the complete logs for compile, make, make install if they would be needed. <snip> /bin/install -c disable-paste /usr/bin/disable-paste # POSIX requires the range of a for loop be nonempty and Bash # 2.x goes along; unfortunately that means an additional # headache in cases like this if test "xlibgpm.so.-1.20.0" != "x" ; then \ /bin/install -c -m 644 libgpm.so.-1.20.0 /usr/lib/libgpm.so.-1.20.0 ;\ cd /usr/lib && ln -s -f libgpm.so.-1.20.0 libgpm.so ;\ # LDCONFIG is removed. Why ? make install should be possible as normal /bin/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gpm-1.20.0/src' make: *** [do-install] Error 1 I don't know what to make of the syntax error and ldconfig is installed. I've searched google, and this list, but can't find anything that relates. Install commands are: ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
