Hi The install of Amaya has inproved a lot between 1.4 and 1.4a. However: I configure to install amaya in a new directory. For configure I use (from the platform directory): ../configure --prefix=/appl/tools/amaya1.4a --with-amaya --with-motif This builds all the way to the end on HPUX 10.20 and Solaris 2.5. Both platforms use the gnu development environment: gcc 2.7.2 and gmake. The /appl/tools filesystems differ on both machines. `gmake install` fails on the Solaris platform: it uses the distributed `install-sh` script but it is called as `..\install-sh`. This fails for some of the makefiles. I changed the Options.orig file manualy to call it with the full path in stead of the relative path. This works OK. The HPUX installation had no problems since there is a `install-sh` in the path. Please update the generation of the Options.orig file to use hard paths for calling distributed scripts (like this install-sh). `gmake install` fails on both platforms: the /appl/tools/amaya1.4a/bin directory is not created so the `ln -s` to create the softlink to the executable fails. This is true for both platforms.`mkdir /appl/tools/amaya1.4a/bin` and `gmake install` again solves the problem. Please update the installation to test for existing of the "--prefix"/bin directory, create it if it is not there and empty it (the `rm -f`) if it is available. RunTime I find a difference between the HPUX and the Solaris machine: On HP I can browse to http://www.w3.org/ but not to http://www.w3.org/amaya !!! Is there a difference in used items between these 2 pages? This would guide my search for the problem. btw: both pages are fetched trough a password proteceted proxyserver. The Solaris version gives no problem. Regards, Corne -- When I became a man, I put away childish things, including my fear of childishness, and the desire to be very grown up. - C. S.
