hello all!

My problem goes like this: I`ve installed bx many many times, but this is the first time i`m installing it on fedora core 3. I followed the basic steps and this is what happens:

[nknwd@DevNull:~/*****X]# make
cd source \
&& gmake 'local_dir=/home/nknwd' 'INSTALL_IRC=/usr/bin/*****X' 'IRCLIB=/usr/lib/bx' 'CC=gcc' 'CFLAGS=-g -O2 -Wall' 'HELPDIR=/usr/lib/bx/help' 'INSTALL_WSERV=/usr/lib/bx/wserv' 'IRCPATH=~/.*****X:~/.*****X/plugins:.:/usr/lib/bx/plugins:/usr/lib/bx/script:/usr/lib/bx' 'TRANSLATION_PATH=/usr/lib/bx/translation' 'LDFLAGS=' 'LIBS=-lncurses -lm -lcrypt -lresolv' 'LN=ln -s' 'RM=rm -f' 'TCL_SRCS=' 'TCL_OBJS=' 'CD_PLAY=' 'CD_SRCS=' 'CD_OBJS=' 'TCL_LIBS=' 'PLUGINDIR=/usr/lib/bx/plugins' '_VERSION_=*****X' 'VERSION=*****X-1.1-final' 'INSTALL_DATA=/usr/bin/install -c -m 644' 'INSTALL_SCRIPT=/usr/lib/bx/script' 'EXEEXT=' 'SHLIB_CFLAGS=' 'SHLIB_SUFFIX=.so' all

any ideas?

Thank you.

I looks like some bad source, all you can really do is manually fix the source code yourself

[huXfluX]

i could but i don`t think it`s a good idea. the same package with the same source compiles as a charm on fc2, fc1, rh9, slack and gentoo

[smindinvern]

The EXACT? same source will compile on those systems? Because if that information you provided in your first post is correct, then there are two unterminated #ifndef's, which is a big error, if you don't feel comforatable editing the source yourself, you could just post the pertanent parts, I would be happy to show you what to change or insert.
