Unix Help 2: chown: bin: Invalid argument

I got 'make' to work. But the "sudo make install' ends with errors. Here's the echo:

==> MAKING "install" ON SUBDIRECTORY "SRCROOT/conf"
install: nothing to make
==> MAKING "install" ON SUBDIRECTORY "SRCROOT/inc"

There's more, but I'll just include this part.

Any ideas what I should do?

How much confidence do you have that the developer of this package you are trying to install knew what they were doing? The "/opt/schily" part makes me suspicious about that.

[microchip13]

What are you trying to install? Just out of curiosity.

>>clown: bin: Invalid argument


Of COURSE it's an invalid argument! It's a damn clown!

[Seacrest]

The software wasn't written in python, was it?

[sscutchen]

This is the cdrtools package that includes mkisofs

I'm trying to use it as part of the boot camp installation

You can install cdrtools using Fink. That's painless and you can install the binary instead of compiling it from source if you want.

I haven't heard anything yet about Fink on Intel Macs.

[microchip13]

Exactly what I was thinking Tom.

Fink isn't perfect, but it's good for something.

[sscutchen]

Well, I had problems finding the cdrtools source in Fink. But I got it to work with Darwinports.

So I'm getting closer. I've got mkisofs working now.

The next key is going to be if I can use the Win98 source from my SoftWindows98 licensed copy. I'm burning the install CD from the image now.
