I guess the thing to be learned is, when doing a remote >install, it might pay to do a make hierarchy, mk, bootstrap, install, not >just a make install. `make world' makes the hierarchy. I never use `make world' or `make hierachy', so I'm used to running mtree or mkdir to when `make install' falls over. `install' gives good error messages to show the problem: $ cd /tmp; touch z; install z /tmp/nonesuch/z install: mkstemp: /tmp/nonesuch for /tmp/nonesuch/z: No such file or directory This goes to stderr. The "*** Error code 71" message from make goes to stdout and isn't as useful. Bruce
