Re: Install Q&A

[Daniel Liston <dliston @ sonny . org>]

Once you have confirmed that your Makefile is correct, that you have
located perl
located cc (or gcc)
defined uid and gid of your majordomo account/user
provided a $HOME directory that is NOT the current directory where you extracted the tarball

What VERSION of perl and gcc are you using?
What version of linux/unix are you running?

What do the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group lines containing "majordom" look like?

Do they match what you used in Makefile?

From the tarball extraction location, where you edited Makefile, did you ...

make wrapper
make install
and as ROOT
make install-wrapper

I just ran through all of this successfully on a redhat 7.2 system with perl 5.6.1
