Subject: File permision errors on win98 with net release candidate
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

All,
    I've installed the net release candidate in my Win98 box into /bin
and /usr/bin off mounted from c:.

I installed the base requirements for development (gcc, make, sed,
binutils, etc) bash, fileutils etc.

I wanted to compile a simple package such as autoconf.  This is what I
got after I typed 

~/gnu/autoconf-2.13/: echo $MAKE_MODE
unix
~/gnu/autoconf-2.13/: configure --prefix=/usr

~/gnu/autoconf-2.13/:


I have gcc as follows:
~/gnu/autoconf-2.13/: gcc -v
Reading specs from /USR/BIN/../lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
~/gnu/autoconf-2.13/:

I tried both the newest and oldest available snapshots dlls as of
3-15-2000 with the same problem.  Everything worked before I converted
over to the new distribution.  I also tried other packages with the same
results.

Any suggestions??

John
