Hi all,
Well I am trying to compile vim from source on a large Sun OS machine
hosted by a university. I am a meager user without root privleges. Whenever
I try this kind of thing on a large machine maintained by somebody other
than me, I'm treated to an endless sequence of error
messages that takes days to sort out: I dont have the right permissions,
some libraries are missing or in the wrong directories, the PATH variable
doesnt have the right paths, the compiler is the wrong one or the wrong
version, etc. etc.
I am not a makefile guru, but I aint stupid either! Suggestions for getting
past the first few errors on this one?
uname -a gives this info. about the machine and OS:
SunOS ubunix1.acsu.buffalo.edu 5.9 Generic_122300-56 sun4u sparc
UNW,Sun-Fire-V245
The initial error message seems to say the bourne shell cant execute
the configure script (for some reason?):
make[1]: Entering directory `/ubfs/myfiles/t/a/talmy/ubunix/vim73/src'
rm -f auto/config.status auto/config.cache config.log auto/config.log
rm -f auto/config.h auto/link.log auto/link.sed auto/config.mk
touch auto/config.h
cp config.mk.dist auto/config.mk
