If running "make" at top level does not cause any recompilation, but running "make install" at top level does, then something is wrong somewhere. Unfortunately I have no idea what it could be. It implies that some dependency expressed in the Makefile changes when you run "make install". I don't know how that could happen. If I had a repeatable test case for this, I would start by running "make -d install". That will generate huge amounts of output, but buried in there somewhere will be the reason that make considers the target to be out of date. Ian
