./configure Problems

[dakkon4]

Receiving the following error on a fresh 5.0.14 tarball from Zaphods site, clean install of Fedora Core 2, i don't recall this happening on 5.0.13. Just thought I'd post. Missing ling is the error

Please show the exact sequence of commands you used. Also, did you extract the files into an empty directory? Also, please run the current checkdeps.sh (http://www.doomed.to/showeq/checkdeps.sh) file from my site (http://www.doomed.to/showeq/) and paste the results.

Enjoy,

Doing all this from the /opt folder, its empty, nothing in it

export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvroot/seq
cvs login
cvs co -r pre_5_0_beta showeq
cd showeq
make -f Makefile.dist
./configure
make && make install


It compiles and runs fine, the one error in the ./configure step barely caught my eye, or I never would've known it was having problems. Heres the result from the checkdeps.sh from your site.

[root@Chronos root]# ./checkdeps.sh
You are Running 'Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang)'.

[Zaphod]

Run the following commands and post the results:

$ find /usr/share -name missing -ls


Also, from your showeq directory do the following command and post the results:

ls -ls missing

and then:

8 -rwxr-xr-x 1 65264 users 6283 Dec 18 2001 missing

[Zaphod]

ok, delete the 'missing' file from the showeq directory, and then re-run 'make -f Makefile.dist' and proceed from there.
