i know how you gurus hate questions from questions like this, but i am
not sure how to translate what i'm looking at here. i'm trying to 'make
install' as an underprivladged user and this is what i get:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
9% make install
/bin/sh ./initmake /bin/sh "/bin/sh" "/bin/rm -f" "mv -f" "ln" \
"-lm -ldir -lx -lsocket -lnet -linet -lnsl_s -lnsl_i -lnsl -lsun -lgen
-lsockdns -ldl" \
"/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/gi/gill/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* and CC
in the Makefile before you try make again.
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `init'

i looked at CFLAGS line in Makefile and, well, i'm not sure what it means.
i'm installing 3.11pre7
thanks for your time.
