Hi guys, I'm quite new at this (Linux user for a week) I've figured out a lot but I have a extremely annoying problem. I have a good idea on how to compile programs with ./configure, make and make install. However I am having problems with the final stage. A message similar to this: cd /usr/local/bin && rm -f wineg++ && ln -s winegcc wineg++ ln: creating symbolic link `wineg++' to `winegcc': Operation not permitted make[2]: *** [install] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/coopera/wine-20040121/tools/winegcc' make[1]: *** [winegcc/__install__] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/coopera/wine-20040121/tools' make: *** [tools/__install__] Error 2 Has appeared when trying to make install both Wine and The Gimp. Both programs get through all the first stages but fail late in this one. I am su root for both of these. It's a pain this as it's stopping me from getting the latest versions. What can I do about it? What is wrong? Thank you for any help. Adam Cooper
