Re: ABS compile error

Thanks, I've almost got it methinks.  I've got those problems solved
(see below for details), but 'make install' throws:

make[2]: Entering directory
`/home/info/gzip/eb-lite-alpha-9/core/plugins/msn'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

So, I checked core/msn/Makefile and found:

#install:
#       # INSTALL NOT YET IMPLEMENTED!
#       false

which seems to be causing the error.  This claims to be auto-generated
by ./config.mer, so I'm not sure where I went wrong.

How i fixed the other problems (if you care):

oh, sorry I meant ./config.mer, although i did run both because both
gzips were installed to the same directory.  Then I started over and
just gunzipped the ABS as to only run ./config.mer.

This is where it got strange.  I tried making the link and got:

ln: `/usr/bin/c++': File exists

but when I try to run it, it tells me:

bash: /usr/bin/c++: No such file or directory

I'm running Mandrake 9.0 and when I run ls /usr/bin/c++ I do get the
file listed as flashing white text on a red background, followed by a
normal colored gray @ on the normal black background.  It scared me, so
I just edited config.mer to use g++ rather than c++, and that got make
working just dandy.

Thanks,
g
