compile error with 4.3 on Linuxppc

GRASS GRASS user
1

Folks,

While compiling Grass4.3 on LinuxPPC I ran into the following error when
I executed the command

GISGEN.my

The compilation began and then abruptly terminated giving this error I
recorded with the > commmand, though it did not record that the fifos
had been made properly as indicated on the screen. mklinux and linuxppc
are binary compabitble so I used the mklinux head file. Here is the
output.

GISBASE=/usr/local/grass43
SRC=/usr/local/grass43/src43/src
CMD=/usr/local/grass43/src43/src/CMD
HEADER=mklinux
ARCH=linux

GISBASE = /usr/local/grass43
SRC = /usr/local/grass43/src43/src
CMD = /usr/local/grass43/src43/src/CMD
HEADER = mklinux
ARCH = linux

first step: man

GISGEN: man - Fri Aug 11 13:48:11 EDT 2000

/usr/local/grass43/src43/man
  make -f OBJ.linux/make.rules

GISGEN failure at STEP: man

At the command line the error showed as:

/usr/local/grass43/src43/gmake4.3: make command not found
GISGEN failure at STEP: man

I know this is something basic that I am missing on here. As far as I
can tell all of my modifications to the GISGEN.my gmake4.3 are correct
and in the right spots. Remming out the offending next_step is not the
solution for this as this is an execution problem I believe.

Do you have "make" installed? Is is in the path?
(Okay, simple question, but you never know.)

Try to add a "-x" to the gmake4.3 shell call to see what is actually
going on.

AFAIK compilation of 4.3 of LinuxPPC did not work out of the box,
because of other errors. You could give the grass5.0beta6 a try,
there is an rpm for linuxppc2000 on the freegis.org development ftp
site.
