[Gcl-devel] Build trouble (fwd)

[Martin RUBEY]

Hi! I'm trying to build axiom on Mandrake 9.2, but there seems to be a 
problem with gcl... 

Please help :-)

PS: (I tried the axiom CVS version to, with exactly the same result -- so 
it seems to be a gcl thing. I'm trying to build as an ordinary user.)

I just got the gnu arch version of the axiom sources and tried to build, 
without success.

My system is a Mandrake 9.2.

The build starts with

3 making noweb
patching file modules.c
mnt.o(.text+0x369): In function `emitfile':
: the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
make[1]: [install-shell] Error 1 (ignored)
make[1]: [install-code] Error 1 (ignored)
texhash: /usr/local/share/texmf: directory not writable. Skipping...

`/var/lib/texmf/ls-R'
: Operation not permitted
make[1]: [install-elisp] Error 1 (ignored)

but this doesn't seem to be a problem. However, the build (of gcl, I 
suppose) stops with
