Re: Scrollkeeper won't make-install



Yep, I'm doing the "make install" as root, as is standard practice. From what I've read, there is a bug in scrollkeeper's installation scripts that's causing ${prefix} to be included as text, instead of its contents (which would be /usr/local by default).

For now, I've worked around this by editing the configure script and replacing all occurences of ${prefix} with /usr/local.

Are you installing as root? Usually ${prefix} is empty and the permissions for /var/log are set to be writable only by root.

Try

sudo make install

or su to root before doing make install.

How come I'm the only one asking questions about installing Gnome 2.4 around here? Is everyone else just a lot better at this than I am?

Anyway, here's the latest problem: make install for scrollkeeper does a bunch of stuff, and then does this:

 >>>
/bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/var/log
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin" ; \ echo "`date +\"%b %d %X\"` Installing ScrollKeeper `scrollkeeper-config --version`..." >> /usr/local/var/log/scrollkeeper.log PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin" ; \ /usr/local/bin/scrollkeeper-rebuilddb -q -p /usr/local/var/lib/scrollkeeper Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such file or directory Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such file or directory Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such file or directory Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such file or directory Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such file or directory Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such file or directory Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such file or directory Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such file or directory Cannot create log file: ${prefix}/var/log/scrollkeeper.log : No such file or directory
...
<<<

It just does that forever. Apparently something isn't turning ${prefix} into whatever it's supposed to be. I searched a little and found a thread referencing this problem, and someone said they were fixing this and would put the updated tarballs online. But the scrollkeeper website has 0.3.12 as the latest version, and that's the same version I'm using, which I downloaded from the Gnome site.

Any ideas on how to proceed?

Thanks again,
