Installing zsh

Installing zsh

[Ryan Colvin]

I am currently trying to install zsh on my Solaris box. I am not able to
complete the install because of the following errors:

# make install
rm -f stamp-modobjs.tmp
sh: zshpaths.h.tmp: cannot create
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `zshpaths.h'
Current working directory /home/rccolvin/Shells/zsh-3.1.5/Src
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `modobjs'
Current working directory /home/rccolvin/Shells/zsh-3.1.5/Src
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install.bin'

Can anyone share some insight on why this is happening and what I need to do to
correct these errors?

Ryan

	assuming the hash as your prompt means that you are running
`make install' as root, my first guess would be that your home
directory is nfs-mounted, and you are thus being denied write
permission to it as root (since root over nfs maps to nobody).
try making your working dir world writeable if that is the
case.
