X-Bugzilla-Reason: CC X-SW-Source: 2004-12/txt/msg01625.txt.bz2 List-Id: ------- Additional Comments From 3dw4rd at verizon dot net 2004-12-12 02:21 ------- Apple PPC OSX people.. The bootstrap works but I'm getting fails on the install This bug is caused by deletion of the /dev/null file by the install process. I've verified that the /dev/null is there before the install and is missing after. You can see the messages about /dev/null not permitted. I'm not making this up and I'm not delusional - see comment #3. I've cleaned out all my source build, and instal directories, rebooted the machine (to restore the /dev/null file) and downloaded cvs trunk and rebuilt from scratch. The make bootstrap has been going to completion for the last two weeks at least. Sometimes the install works. But sometimes the install fails in the middle with these messages: or /bin/sh: line 1: /dev/null: Operation not supported or ./config.status: line 24: /dev/null: Operation not supported This is real and it is caused by the make install. I will do my best to track this down but these issues are buried down in shell scripts that I have trouble tracing through. Any advice on this issue of debugging the install tools would be greatly appreciated.
