mv global.bki global.bki.old; mv template1.bki template1.bki.old cat global.bki.old | sed s/" ame"/" name"/ > global.bki cat template1.bki.old | sed s/" ame"/" name"/ > global.bki Solution is pretty simple actually (did figure this one out). I did find other people complaining about this, but no solutions. But I just did the install on an older slackware system and diffed the bki files to find some as 'ame' and others as 'name' - so I used the lines above and managed to get it to work just fine. Quite odd really... I am using the latest stable versions of all of the GNU tools straight from their site. Problem appears to be solved though, but maybe a check in the Makefile is in order. It seems (through my google search, as well as a search of this archive) that I am not the only one with this problem.
