After two years of using Red Hat, I've turned my attention to Debian (Slink), and am learning my way around the packaging system, apt, and dpkg.
I'm now trying to install Pine. (This message, BTW, is coming from my shell account at my ISP, hence it being from Pine.) I've tried to install both of the following sets of source packages, using the same steps (listed below), receiving the same error message (also provided below): sources: pine_4.10-0.dsc pine_4.10-0.diff.gz pine_4.10.orig.tar.gz pine_3.96M-2.dsc pine_3.96M-2.diff.gz pine_3.96M.orig.tar.gz steps taken: dpkg-source -x pine_v.dsc cd pine debian/rules binary (as root) error message received: test -f pine/pine.c -a -f debian/rules debian/rules binaryPine make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/pine/pine-v' test -f pine/pine.c -a -f debian/rules test root = "`whoami`" rm -rf debian/tmp install -d debian/tmp/DEBIAN debian/tmp/usr/lib/menu cd debian/tmp && install -d usr/bin usr/man/man1 usr/doc/pine cd debian && install -m 755 postinst postrm tmp/DEBIAN cd debian && install -m 644 menu.pine tmp/usr/lib/menu/pine install bin/pine debian/tmp/usr/bin install: bin/pine: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [binaryPine] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/pine/pine-3.96M' make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2 I searched the archives for this list but couldn't find anything; I thought I saw something posted about this earlier this month. Thanks in advance for any help. Debian's great thus far. -- Larry
