Because as the warning says, the prefix should be empty, e.g.: ../configure --prefix= Having prefix=/ should work either, but it isn't really correct because you'll get paths like //bin, //lib, because /bin is appended to the prefix. -- Jeroen Dekkers _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
