Installing procmail in Unix shell account home directory?

1996-05-20 12:48:34
I need my mail filtered so I'm trying to install procmail 
on my unix shell accounts (I have two shell accounts)...if I 
could just get one to work :( .  One of the accounts doesn't 
let me compile on the system, and in the other account 
procmail apparently creates the procmail-3.10 directory with 
some numbered ownership instead of my own.
 
Here are the attempts:
 
############# UNIX SHELL ACCOUNT #1 ##############
 
The problem with this account appears to be with the
ownership it creates:
 
   drwxr-xr-x   3 tgonzale friend        512 May 20 04:39 .
   drwxr-xr-x  11 tgonzale friend       1536 May 20 04:39 ..
   drwxr-xr-x   2 210      600           512 May 20 04:39 procmail-3.10
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^
   -rw-r--r--   1 tgonzale friend     552960 May 19 05:21 procmail.tar 
 
Which is why I probably got the following errors:
 
   [27] tgonzale [/users/tgonzale] What?> tar -xvf pr
   mkdir: procmail-3.1   tar: procmail-3.10/SmartList/ - cannot create
   mkdir: procmail-3.10/SmartList: Permission denied
   tar: procmail-3.10/SmartList/README - cannot create
   mkdir: procmail-3.10/SmartList: Permission denied
   tar: procmail-3.10/SmartList/FEATURES - cannot c   tar: procmai 
[the rest deleted]
 
######  UNIX SHELL ACCOUNT #2  #######
 
The problem with this account I believe is that they don't allow us to 
compile.
 
314$ make install
        /bin/sh ./initmake /bin/sh "/bin/ksh" "/bin/rm -f" "mv -f" "ln" \
         "-lm -ldir -lx -lsocket -lnet -linet -lnsl_s -lnsl_i -lnsl 
-lsun  -lgen -lsockdns" \
         "/lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib" \
         /dev/null "make" o \
         "cc" "-O  " "-s  " "procmail lockfile formail mailstat" \
         "procmail formail lockfile" \
         "procmailrc procmailsc procmailex" "src man" \
         "/u/accounts/ma2/bin"
Whoeaaa!  There's something fishy going on here.
You have a look and see if you detect anything uncanny:
**********************cc -O _autotst.c -o _autotst -s
./initmake: cc: execute permission denied
::::
cc -O _autotst.c -o _autotst -s
./initmake: cc: execute permission denied
::::
gcc -O _autotst.c -o _autotst -s
./initmake: gcc: execute permission denied
::::
*******************************************************
I suggest you take a look at the definition of CFLAGS*in the Makefile 
before you try make again.
*** Error code 1
315$
 
 
Any help with getting around any of these two problems would
be appreciated.
Thanks.
