Something is wrong here, because make install should be running bin/update from the installation ($prefix) directory, and all the scripts in that directory should have been installed from configure's build/ directory and should have had the @PYTHON@ in the shebang line changed to an actual path by configure. >I changed this to: > >#!/usr/local/bin/python > >and this allows me to execute /bin/update from the command line >but the make install still fails so I must barking up the wrong tree. /bin/update ? or do you mean $prefix/bin/update ? bin/update is the very last thing run by make install, so if make install fails in running bin/update, and you fix the problem and run bin/update successfully, you are done. How does make install fail the second time? The same way? There are 3 bin/update files (if you run configure and make correctly) 1) bin/update in the unpack-configure directory with a #! @PTHHON@ shebang 2) build/bin/update in the unpack-configure directory created by configure with a proper path in the shebang 3) bin/update in the installation ($prefix) directory installed from 2) by make install. It is 3) that is run at the end of make install. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
