make install error

[Derek]

Ok, I am trying to recompile eggdrop, and I get this error a bunch of times on make install:

Code: Select all

I keep getting warning: jobserver unavailable.

Anyone know whats wrong?

Thanks,

'eggdrop' is the executable. It's possible the distinction between a directory and the executable is your problem.

Try:

Code: Select all

make install DEST=/home/derek/bot

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Didn't help

Well, something is definitely not quite right. For instance, the error (below) should not exist at all.

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/home/derek/bot/eggdrop-1.6.17': No such file or directory

I suggest you start from scratch. Remove any (or all) folders you have created.

And then very carefully follow the steps in:

Setting up an Eggdrop
Using Your Eggdrop
Enhancing Your Eggdrop

You need to pay particular attention to the section titled Installation
