All, Okay thanks it was down to the "test -e" statement, fixing this solved my problem - it would be nice if that was documented somewhere in the distro, the FAQ or even fixed. Also, I've specified --with-prefix=/usr/local/nntpcache because I want all of the software to be stored under this directory. However after the install some of it gets stored under /usr/local/nntpcache and some gets stored under /usr/local. Is this deliberate or is it a bug? I know I can fix it by editing the Makefile (which is what I've done) but I wanted to know if it had been done deliberately. thanks Alex > -----Original Message----- > From: proff@iq.org [mailto:proff@iq.org] > Sent: 12 August 2002 15:36 > To: Bell,A,Alex,IVLC2 BELLA22 C > Cc: nntpcache-users@nntpcache.org > Subject: Re: [NNTPCACHE] Problems compiling nntpcache 3.0.1 > on Solaris 8 > > > [ Charset ISO-8859-1 unsupported, converting... ] > > Hi, > > > > I currently trying to get nntpcache 3.0.1 working on my > Solaris 8 server but > > I'm having a few problems with it. > > > > I'm using GNUmake 3.79.1 & gcc 3.1 but the process seems to > fail when I run > > make install with the following error. > > Yes.
