RedHat 9.0 Make Error

[nbodorik]

Hello!

I am trying to install strace-4.2 on my RedHat 9.0 machine and I get an error that says:

make: *** [file.o] Error 1

I similarily get this error when trying to install another application, does anyone know what this means?

Thanks!

Natasha

Red Hat 9 is seven years old. It uses an old version of GCC and has a very old 2.4 kernel. I would not recommend running it unless you are forced to as part of a business environment. I recommend moving up to a newer release, either RHEL 5, Fedora 10/11 or CentOS 5 (which is a clone of Red Hat Enterprise).

You will likely find strace available as a package anyway allowing you to install it from the repository directly.
