How come everytime I try to execute a Makefile, I get "permission denied"? I have tried modifying the source to check for compatability. I have tried to execute the commands independently (ie. type 'em). I just started using UNIX a week ago, and I guess that is most of the problem. Can anyone suggest anything ?? I mean other than suicide. -The Doctor MHM2@JAGUAR.UOFS.EDU MHM2@SCRANTON.BITNET either or neither nor.

This would probably be better in comp.unix.questions rather than in comp.sources.games.bugs, since it is a general question about Makefiles and not a specific question about any particular game. In any case, you don't execute Makefiles. They are not programs. You use the "make" program to build programs based on what's in the Makefile. A Makefile is a configuration file for the "make" program. See the man page for "make" for more information. -- Jonathan Kamens USnail: MIT Project Athena 11 Ashford Terrace jik@Athena.MIT.EDU Allston, MA 02134 Office: 617-253-8085 Home: 617-782-0710
