Subject: Problems with the installation of Alliance VLSI Cad system I own a PC with RedHat Linux 5.0 operating system. I tried to install your Cad system, but found some problems with the compilation process. I downloaded the common package and the sources package (it was half the size of the binary so I decided to download it instead of the binary) from ftp://asim.lip6.fr: 1. alliance-3.2b-common.tar.gz 2. alliance-3.2c-sources.tar.gz (The sources) 3. alliance-3.2c.README I followed all the instructions in alliance-3.2c.README 1. I opened the packages with gunzip and untarred them to the directory /usr I came up with /usr/alliance directory in which both packages were located. 2. I moved to /usr/alliance/share/etc and executed ./configure 3. I created a directory architecture as mentioned in the file alliance-3.2c.README 4. As mentioned in alliance-3.2c.README; I moved to the /usr/alliance/sources directory and executed make, which was supposed to compile the program, but instead I received this message: make[1]: Entering directory /usr/alliance/sources/mbk Makefile:33: /etc/.mk: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target '/etc/.mk'. Stop; make: *** [all] Error 1 I would appreciate it if you answer my question. SY ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
