It may be that David mis-read your post, and was thinking you were talking about your install / uninstall image, rather than running make from the command line. (Maybe not.) Currently, a make install on Linux does not set up the sym links or do any of the other things that the post-install scripts in the rpm or deb packages do. And, I think the same for AIX. For that matter the build on Windows does not do the things that the Windows installer does. I'm not saying they shouldn't, just saying that maybe doing the same as on the other platforms (i.e. nothing) is sufficient. On Linux, with either a rpm-based system or a debian-based system, if I want the stuff installed, I do "make rpm" or "make deb" and then install the package. I do the same thing on Windows, if I want everything the installer package does, I build the installer and use that. <grin> If you could get something going like "make dmg" to make the image from the command line, I think that would be a better first effort then trying to fix install and add uninstall to the make file. But, I definitely don't want to discourage you from doing whatever you think is best. <grin> -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
