What must I change? (it's my first port!) Look in the Makefile.in for the line that installs the script giving the error. Large probability that the line involved calls INSTALL_PROGRAM to do it's dirty work. Just need to find that line, verify that this is really the problem, and change the line to use INSTALL instead. Given a choice, I think the one I'd want to use would actually me INSTALL_DATA, but you didn't repeat the line defining that from the Makefile, so I don't know if it's available to you or not. If it's defined in the Makefile, and doesn't use -s to strip, it's usually the right one to use, so patch the Makefile.in to use it. That way the Makefile generated by the configure script will be right. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------= - Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data= =20 chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix= =2E 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------= -
