I'm trying to install libtiff library under Slack 8.0, so that i can install KDE. I'm following instructions from a hint file at linuxfromscratch.org. The url for the instructions is: http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/kde.txt
Scroll down the part where it tells you how to install libtiff (it's number 6), and the part where it says to edit the tifflib/Makefile.in file. I edited it, but i am getting this error:
Makefile:333: Extraneous text after 'else' directive.
Makefile:333: *** extraneous 'else'. Stop.
I am using Vim to edit the libtiff, and I'm not really comfortable with Vim. For some reason i didn't chose to install emacs and pico when i was installing, so i am stuck with vim for now. Is it possible that Vim is adding extraneous formating or symbols or something to the file when i press enter, or press keys in attempt to figure Vim out?
