Hi, I'm guessing I'm probably missing something obvious and basic here, but just right now I can't seem to find it. Not looking in the right nelp file or man page, I guess. I did google on "install" and "install problems" and such, came across a couple of pages but nothing that actually explain what to do when it doesn't work.
I'm trying to install a program to do some basic diagrams of PA systems etc - it's called dia-0.91. The instructions say: INSTALL: ======== install it by doing: make install ======== but all I get when I try that is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dia-0.91]# make install make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [EMAIL PROTECTED] dia-0.91]# I thought it might be some kind of permissions problem, but I entered SU and the root password and tried again with the same result. I'm beginning to think there's something basic broken on my system - the simplest little things don't seem to work for me - things you guys seem to take for granted. like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dia-0.91]# whereami bash: whereami: command not found [EMAIL PROTECTED] dia-0.91]# and there's a bunch of others too, I just can't think of them atm. btw when you download something and then [try to] install it, where are you supposed to install it to?
