For those interested, the segmentation fault occurs when the program list is constructed in the programs directory:
install-dataDATA: $(data_DATA) @$(NORMAL_INSTALL) $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(datadir) @list='$(data_DATA)'; Apparently the list is too long, and thus the segmentation fault. My work around was to cut the list in half (by removing half of data_DATA) and then running 'make install' twice in the programs directory (for each half of the list). What might be limiting the size of the list (to about 250)? Jeff On Mon, 24 Jan 2000, Jeff Braun wrote: > I can not get dxsamples to install on my SGI Indigo.
