Check the Build-Depends line in debian/control and ensure you have all the packages installed that are listed. --- Dan Chen crimsun@email.unc.edu GPG key: www.cs.unc.edu/~chenda/pubkey.gpg.asc On Fri, 14 Sep 2001, Robert Tilley wrote:> When I try to compile e2fsprogs-1.24a I receive the following snippet: > > tillarium:/home/tilleyrw/downloads/ext3 Files/e2fsprogs-1.24a# mkdir build;cd > build > tillarium:/home/tilleyrw/downloads/ext3 Files/e2fsprogs-1.24a/build# > ../configure > <<SNIP>> > ./mk_cmds: Files/e2fsprogs-1.24a/lib/ss: No such file or directory > mk_cmds: Couldn't find mk_cmds's template files. > make[2]: *** [std_rqs.c] Error 1 > make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tilleyrw/downloads/ext3 > Files/e2fsprogs-1.24a/build/lib/ss' > make[1]: *** [all-libs-recursive] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tilleyrw/downloads/ext3 > Files/e2fsprogs-1.24a/build' > make: *** [all] Error 2 > tillarium:/home/tilleyrw/downloads/ext3 Files/e2fsprogs-1.24a/build# > > Can anyone help me with this?

Putting spaces in directory names is something only Microsoft refugees do. :-) e2fsprogs hasn't been hardened against such pathnames. Rename "ext3 Files" to "ext3_files", and the build will work. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll work on hardening e2fsprogs against silly Microsoftian pathnames for the future. - Ted
