The command failed with the error message you see above, and make reported that failure. What's to "solve"? This is the way the rm command in UNIX behaves: if the file that you asked it to remove doesn't exist you get an error. If you don't want that behavior you can add the "-f" (force) flag to rm: see the man page for rm. Alternatively you could have make ignore the failure (although the error message from "rm" would still be printed in this case) by prefixing the rule with the "-" token: see the GNU make manual. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
