Re: Install problems on Solaris 2.5.1

Hi,

Our source tar file amaya-src-2.4.tgz includes all the Amaya and libwww stuff.
When the source tar file is unpacked it should create an Amaya directory
and a liwww directory.
I don't know why the unpack failed when it tried to create the libwww 
directory.
