Well I found my problem. We build all our versions of XFree86 using 
source code stored in Perforce (a branch to our devel tree that allows 
easy merging back/forth). As it turns out, Perforce does not seem to like 
filenames with an '@' symbol in them, and then never got checked into 
Perforce!! I will have to see if I can manually check those files into 
the machine, otherwise we will have a problem ;-(.

What exactly are these files for? Is there any reason why they using the 
@ symbol in file names specifically?

2003-03-20 Thread Kendall Bennett
No responses to this question? I really would like to figure out why the 
build is not installing on this machine. Perhaps this is not the right 
forum and there is a better mailing list to ask these questions about 
build breaks?

 some @Aliases file or something.
 
 I have attached my install.log file. Can someone tell me what is wrong 
 and how I can fix this to get the install to work properly?

 Hi Guys,

Sorry, I thought I'd replied, seems I never pressed send :-(

Why
grep ] Error 
I use
grep '\*\*'
to determine whether the make World has succeeded.

It looks to me as if your make World failed (but kept going as it
usually does) so install tried again and failed.

I have
xc/programs/rstart/contexts/@Aliases
xc/programs/rstart/samples/contexts.odt1/@Aliases
xc/programs/rstart/samples/contexts.sun/@Aliases
all with matching ,v files, so it may be a problem with your check out,

Probably because that was the simplest way I could find, and it seems 
that whenever an error is found, the above string is always there ;-)

 usually does) so install tried again and failed. 

I believe the make World succeeded just fine. I will grep with your error 
string tomorrow and see what I dig up (it is on a differetn hard disk to 
the one I am installing Linux distros on now in my test box ;-).

 I have
   xc/programs/rstart/contexts/@Aliases
   xc/programs/rstart/samples/contexts.odt1/@Aliases

Well I am not checking the code out of CVS at all, but building from the 
raw tar.gz files unzipped on my system. Perhaps this file is in CVS but 
is missing from the source archives? I will check tomorrow and see what i 
can find out.
