curlinstall.sh on Linux 2.6.8 (Debian 3.0)
Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2005 11:51 pm
The following problems were encountered with the latest CVS:
1)
$ ./curlinstall.sh
/bin/sh: ##############################################################: No such file or directory
Fix: Moved the trailing #'s down 1 line
Don't know why it caused a problem for me but it did. Doesn't bother me too much.
2)
$ ./curlinstall.sh
*** GMAKE not installed! ***
Please install gmake to continue running script
Fix: if (gmake = GNU make) { gmake = make }
Debian uses GNU software so to require gmake and not accept make is unneccesary on a Debian system - maybe curlinstall.sh should check whether `make -v|head -1|awk '{ print $1 }'` == "GNU"
Although if there is another reason for requiring gmake then this is meaningless. I will edit the curlinstall.sh to use make on this system and report back on the results.
^^ Input from an ignorant. Hope it helps.
