hey Steve, My host is hostmonster. I can't run anything under sudo, and from memory am pretty sure I can't compile anything. I'm pretty sure Windows shared hosts would be in the same boat (not that you'd want to do that ;) I'm not even sure if I would be allowed to run an executable like that even if it was precompiled.
Actually, just ran the instructions and it seems sudo is my main problem. Seemed to configure and make ok. I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to install anything below my home root and I'm pretty sure running executables willy nilly is out too. I think it's partly about the reasonable use of cpu power and partly about running software that might compromise the integrity of the server for other shared users. On a slice or VPS I imagine that not (so much of) a problem. running 'sudo make install' gives -bash: sudo: command not found running just 'make install' gives [email protected] [~/sphinx-0.9.8.1]# make install Making install in src make[1]: Entering directory `/home2/raavinco/sphinx-0.9.8.1/src' if test -d ../.svn; then svn info .. --xml | perl svnxrev.pl; fi; make install-am make[2]: Entering directory `/home2/raavinco/sphinx-0.9.8.1/src' make[3]: Entering directory `/home2/raavinco/sphinx-0.9.8.1/src' test -z "/usr/local/bin" || mkdir -p -- "/usr/local/bin" mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local': Permission denied make[3]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home2/raavinco/sphinx-0.9.8.1/src' make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home2/raavinco/sphinx-0.9.8.1/src' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home2/raavinco/sphinx-0.9.8.1/src' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 Cheers, Jason Cheers, On 04/02/2009, at 12:00 AM, Steven A Bristol wrote: > > On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 4:52 AM, Jason Keenan > <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Just my two bits, this completely rules out using lovd on a shared >> host.
