Those are the instructions for an install from source. It sounds as if you have the precompiled binaries. For that situation, I think that what the Redbook attempts to say is that the unloaded files should be copied into the corresponding directories under /usr/local: so the file from bin is copied to /usr/local/bin, the files from man should be copied to the corresponding directories under /usr/local/man, etc. This assumes that these directories are included in your PATH & MANPATH environment variables.
Building from source is probably more in the spirit of open source but the precompiled binaries should work fine. You can also ask questions about this on mvs-oe.

I have it unwound on z/OS Unix, just don't know what to do with it. I don't think the above script will work for me as the file I downloaded is not what this script expects to see. The MVS sysprog says we can install it ourselves but our userid doesn't have write access to root (/). What do I do to get this puppy installed? Do I need to pay attention to the above scirpt? Or do I modify our .profile for the exports and issue the 2 make commands? > >I'm totally new at this and just need gmake for other ends. I wonder if I should create a script like the above without the first 2 lines and run that on z/OS Unix? I've had other feedback that said to just move the unwound folders (and data) down to root. One of those folders exist (bin) and the others don't. > >anyone have more information or know where I can get more? > >Thanks > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
