make Fatal error message

Stephen_175 — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 10:23:49 GMT

I was installing a security application named "aide"

and after successfully running ./configure I received a Fatal error message after running make:

devuiaccess01:/var/tmp/security_tools/aide-0.10>sudo make
make all-recursive
Making all in src
mksh: Fatal error in reader: = missing from replacement macro reference
Current working directory /var/tmp/security_tools/aide-0.10/src
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive'
Current working directory /var/tmp/security_tools/aide-0.10
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive-am'

Is there a solution or work around for this problem?

It's hard to say much without seeing the
"make" file, but apparently it's failing.

You might try again with "make -n" to see
what it would have done. You might also
complain to whoever provided "aide".

Stephen,

No idea about your Aide application, but as you said it is a security application, I would suggest to update your system with the latest patches as there are so many patches has been released related to security issues.

Yes, clearly as Steven said, the make file need to be verified.
