Thank you so much for the reply. Sorry that I run "make" as a root. I am new 
with linux and I am sure I won`t make the same mistake in the future. By the way 
, why it tells me about try "rm -- help"? I really do not know what does it 
mean. In what situation will this "rm -- help " come out?

Thanks
