Problems with make install

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi all,

I'm working on a server with Solaris 10 and I'm trying to install the pptp client version 1.7.2.

So, the generation of the execute file is ok, I run the command 'make' and I got the pptp file.

Now I have to run the command 'make install' to install the software, but it stops at the following line (into the Makefile):

install -o root -m 555 pptp /usr/sbin

where /usr/sbin is a variable defined in the script, and the error is:

usage: install [options] file [dir1 ...]
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install'

Can you help me to resolve the problem?

Check the "makefile" for the section called "install". The make command uses this file to create directories and files for you. Maybe there is something in the makefile that is wrong or can't be done.

Also, are you the root user when you run make?

The "install" utility on Solaris uses "-u" for the user, not "-o".

Great, the command now it works and i installed it

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Now I've just installed pptp client and pptpconfig but when I try to run pptp config, I get the following error:

ld.so.1: php: fatal: libsybdb.so.5: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

Where can I find this library? What is this new problem?
