Theproblems seem to be so fundamental that I think I must have the wrong package or install docs. I've tried http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gnats/gnats-3.999.1.tar.gz and http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gnats/gnats-3.999.2.tar.gz Using the install docs at http://www.gnu.org/software/gnats/doc/4_0_beta_snapshot/index.html However I've been having multiple problems following the install steps: 1. ./configure Configure seems to ignore some of the options suggested by the Install Guide 2. make install-info Make reports that the makefile has not install-info target. 3. mkdb Gives problems about /usr/local/com/gnatsdb not existing So I create that, and make it writeable by the gnats user Then it complians that it cant read /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases So I create it, then it complains that it can't get any defaults from /usr/local/share/gnats/ and it turns out that that's because that directory is empty So what am I doing wrong. I figure I must be going insane because no one else (on the list) seems to be having these problems. I'd really appreciate any help -- Chris Jensen chris@drspirograph.com Public Key: http://drspirograph.com/public_key/ Wait: Did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity?
