Hi, you wrote:
: Do you have /tmp in place? If not, try creating it. Bash assumes its
: existence. I think it is a bug to not say
:
: ./configure: /tmp: No such file or directory
:
: instead.
I second this. Exactly what I wanted to say!
BTW, tracing could have helped here to reveal the culprit "/tmp",
but I haven't tried it for this case. Also, those not reading in the FAQ
about /tmp probably don't know how to do this either.
Bye, Heribert (dahms@ifk20.mach.uni-karlsruhe.de)
