-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 4/29/2008 9:56 PM: | Hi Eric, | | OK. I've run "./configure | gl_cv_func_strtod_works=no" and then "make -f check". | It seems work & I think I've install the package.
If you didn't specify --prefix or any other location options to ./configure, then configure defaults to installing the new executable in /usr/local/bin/m4 (and that generally requires root permissions, so I'm a bit surprised that you are having problems finding what you installed). Generally, if you don't have root permissions, 'make install' will only be successful if you ran './configure' with a different --prefix option. Also, some people like to run './configure --program-prefix=g' to install as gm4, so as not to overwrite the native m4. | | May I know how can I confirm if the package is | installed ? I saw that there is a 'm4' in | /usr/ccs/bin/ & /usr/xpg4/bin. However, their file | date are in year 2003 ! Those are both the native m4 provided by Sun, with subtle differences (such as in the eval builtin), but certainly both lacking GNU extensions. ~ At this point, you need to investigate your PATH. You may find reading m4-1.4.11/INSTALL very informative. At any rate, 'make install-check' will tell you if the installed m4 behaves correctly. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
