Hello,

This might just be my complete lack UNIX knowlege...

I'm trying to install emacs-20.3. The files are in
~cuthberm/Emacs/emacs-20.3 and I want the final install to be
in ed:/export/software/gnu

The final stage of the install (ie. the make) I'm having trouble with -

make install prefix=/export/software/gnu
exec_prefix=/export/software/gnu

- I'm using Sun Solaris 2.6

It goes fine for a while then I get the following ...

Type ./configure --help and discover the very useful --prefix option.
Thus, the following ought to do the right thing:

(Lines wrapped for easier reading)

cd ~cuthberm/Emacs/emacs-20.3
./configure --with-gcc --prefix=/export/software/gnu --with-pop \
--with-x --with-toolkit=athena

Please note that I did *not* specify the configuration -- the
configure script is very good at figuring that out for itself.

Thanks,

I'm still getting these make errors, when I do make install ..etc.

The make output suggests you are using a Gcc compiled for Solaris 2.5
and that doesn't play well with Solaris 2.6.
