I would guess you're probably not doing this on a current system, where the install program recognizes the -d option as (from the man page): -d Create directories. Missing parent directories are created as required. If it were me, I'd manually edit the Makefile to remove the -d option, create the directory manually (or have the Makefile do it with mkdir -p) and run install again. > > Cheers > Neil > -- > _____________________________________________________________________ > Neil Adams (Bureau of Meteorology). > Senior Meteorologist > Antarctic CRC and Bureau of Meteorology > Email: N.Adams@bom.gov.au > Phone: Australia (03) 6226 7545 Fax : Australia (03) 6226 7545 > Mobile 0417331181 > Post: University of Tasmania > GPO Box 252-80 > Hobart, Tasmania > Australia 7001 > _____________________________________________________________________ > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
