There is no "make" program that executes the configure script. The configure script is executed in a subshell at your request. To execute the configure script, you should have entered something like one of the following (depending on your shell): sh: ./configure >configure.log 2>&1 csh: ./configure >&!configure.log One thing: do *not* redirect output to the file "config.log" because that file is created and managed by the configure script itself. > though some appear > to be output from the configure script itself: > > loading cache ./config.cache > > checking for catman... no > > checking for fill-value usage... new usage > > checking the installation prefix... /home/wings/u0/FEM_etc/SEAMS > > checking the installation exec-prefix... /home/wings/u0/FEM_etc/SEAMS > > checking for c89... c89 > > checking type of operating system... aix > > checking type of machine... rs6000 > > checking for ranlib... ranlib > > checking how to run the C preprocessor... c89 -E > > checking the C preprocessor... works > > checking for f77... f77 > > checking for C++ compiler... > > checking for yacc... yacc > > checking for neqn... neqn > > checking for tbl... tbl > > checking for ar... ar > > checking for makeinfo... no > > checking for tar flags... -chf > > checking for dependency generation mechanism... c89 -M > > checking whether cross-compiling... yes > > checking size of int... > > Should I try to execute configure in a stand alone mode? Yes. Try the following: 1. Go to the top-level source directory. 2. Remove the file "config.cache" if it exists. 3. Set your environment variables. 4. Execute the configure script using the appropriate command I gave above. 5. Send me the files "configure.log" and "config.log". > > Is there a chance that the compiler options are not appropriate for > the present AIX c-compiler (v3.1)? It's possible, but we need the complete "config.log" file to find out. > > Thanks for your time. > > Ladean McKittrick -------- Steve Emmerson <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu>
