It is invoked by the make program, but it is run by the shell, and it fails because one of the if...then statements has trailing English text on the end of the line, which clearly should be a comment. Hence my patch. I don't know which bit to patch to make the libtool create this correctly. > particlarly good and for other reasons you will probably have to use GNU > make as described in > > http://www.w3.org/INSTALL.html#Unix > OK, didn't spot that on line 77 of the INSTALL file I got. > > I have further confirmed that having installed www, when I > >invoke > >www -nocache http://www.eng.dmu.ac.uk/ > >(for any url, in fact) it WILL create the cache directory. > > Yes, but it stays empty, right? Maybe, but if someone else has used www then it complains about them using the cache, and that it is not available. You then have to say to override this interactively, even when you are using the -n option (NONINTERACTIVE) in a script. If it is not going to use the cache, then it should not need to do this. > > Henrik > -- > Henrik Frystyk Nielsen, > World Wide Web Consortium > http://www.w3.org/People/Frystyk > Hugh hgs@dmu.ac.uk
