From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2008 21:20:17 -0700 From: David Morris To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Message-ID: <20080303042017.GE14610@morris-clan.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.17+20080114 (2008-01-14) Subject: [9fans] plan9port build failure on Linux (debian) Topicbox-Message-UUID: 6d48bb6c-ead3-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 I am trying to install plan9port on a Linux system (Debian), and am getting the following error: 9 yacc -d -s bc bc.y fatal error:can't create , :1 mk: 9 yacc -d ... : exit status=exit(1) mk: for i in ... : exit status=exit(1) Everything compiles just fine up to this point with no errors. This looks to be the first step of building the lexx application. Because there is no filename listed in the error message, I am guessing this is the result of a bug in the code or the makefile (err, mkfile, I suppose). Any idea of what the problem is? Or if its a bug in the code, where I can get a stable version? Details of my build environment and my install process follow.... OS : Debian lenny (with a few packages from sid (unstable)) Arch: i386 plan9port version: downloaded Saturday from http://swtch.com/plan9port/ After bug, updated from CVS Install location: /usr/local Install process: # cd /usr/local # sudo tar xvzf plan9port.tgz # cd plan9 # sudo ./INSTALL (failed with noted error) # sudo cvs update -dP # sudo ./INSTALL (failed with noted error) Thanks, --David
