Installation Probs

[Furrball]

Hello.

Todays big installation adventure is Kalarm, a little alarm utitlity I found on the KDE application page. I decompressed everything, configured it all, and then 'MAKE INSTALL" but after all that I get error messages:


make[3]: *** [icalssyacc.c] Error 127
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/tim/tmp/kalarm/kalarm-0.7.1/libical/src/libicalss'
make[2]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tim/tmp/kalarm/kalarm-0.7.1/libical/src'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tim/tmp/kalarm/kalarm-0.7.1/libical'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1



If anyone knows what these mean, please tell me!

Thanks in Advance,

The Furrballinator!

Furrball,
I believe the "make[3]: *** [icalssyacc.c] Error 127" means that make couldn't run something. Error 127 is probably an error code from the shell. Also, since make is building a C file, there is a program other than the compiler that is needed.
So, are their any other messages before this? That will tell you what command make couldn't find. If you post that, I'll give a go trying to help you more.

Hope that helps,
chris

Make install doesn't usually fail unless you are not root.

./configure and make can be run by a regular user, but make install needs to be run as root.
