It looks > like it cannot find the usr directory. Is there a fix for this? How did you configure? It looks like it's got confused over the --prefix setting; that extra '/' then makes cygwin treat the path as a UNC network path, so you're trying to install to a network share called 'local' on a remote host named 'usr'! I've seen this sort of thing happen before when I was messing around by setting DESTDIR during "make install". You'd better show us all your configure and build command lines. > mkdir //usr > mkdir: cannot create directory `//usr': No such host or network path > mkdir //usr/local > mkdir: cannot create directory `//usr/local': No such host or network path > mkdir //usr/local/share > mkdir: cannot create directory `//usr/local/share': No such host or network > path > make[1]: *** [install-data-yes] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/Documents and > Settings/sheintze/Desktop/ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin /release/grep/grep-2.5.1a-4/po' > make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 I really wouldn't build it in your package dir though, that's a bit cluttery. The optimal method is to use setup.exe to download and unpack the source for grep into /usr/src, and build it there (using the provided build script if there should happen to be one). cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
