Am running RH9, with updates. I downloaded kde-3.2.1 source and prerequisites. Most components build, a few don't. kdesdk fails in "make install" with the following errors:
rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/cervisia/common': Is a directory make[3]: [install-docs] Error 1 (ignored) ln: `/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/cervisia/common/common': File exists make[3]: *** [install-docs] Error 1 make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
The workaround I've found is to comment out lines 495 and 496 in kdesdk-3.2.1/doc/cervisia/Makefile, and rerun "make install".
Any suggestions?
I would have removed the directory:
/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/cervisia/common/
and tried it again.
This problem happens once in a while because the developer doesn't consider that the directory might exist. To remove it you would need:
rm -Rf /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/cervisia/common
You could also change the command in the make file.
