Hi:

In order to try out GNU/Smalltalk on my RHL9 box (gcc 3.2.2),
I downloaded the version 2.1.7 from the ftp site.

The following commands were issued

./configure   (PASS)
make          (PASS)
make test     (PASS)
make html     (PASS)

on running the last command
make install
the following error is generated
--
Making install in lib-src

There problem seems to be with the line
mkdir -m 0755 -p -- for which the directory has not been passed.
I tried looking into the script but could not figure out
the possible solution.

If any list member has seen this earlier, I will appreciate
hearing about the possible solution or even a work around.

Thanks for your time.

thanks
Saifi Khan.
