#3 error running ./configure

[Anonymous]

Here is the text:

linux:/etc/SourceFiles/bluetail/btt-4.0.2 # ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for erl... /usr/local/bin/erl
checking for erlc... /usr/local/bin/erlc
checking for yaws... /root/bin/yaws
configure: error: Broken Yaws installation,
"/etc/SourceFiles/yaws/yaws/scripts/ .." does not exist!
linux:/etc/SourceFiles/bluetail/btt-4.0.2 #

The directory in question DOES exist as far as the path is shown.
The contents of /etc/SourceFiles/yaws/yaws/scripts/ :

. Makefile make-release ntpath.sh yaws.conf
yaws.conf.template.local
.. darwin make-upload redhat yaws.conf.basic_auth
yaws.ss
Install gentoo mangle suse yaws.conf.template

Any help for this Linux noob would be greatly appreciated.

I did do a "make install" for the yaws, then went back and did a
"make local_install" too. The ./configure didn't get past the
"checking for yaws" line before I did that.

I had exactly the same problem with the btt-4.0.2 download.

the solution for me was to get the latest sourcecode with cvs.
After that I did not have the problem anymore.

Check the yaws script for the line
yawsdir=<something>
My <something> was "/opt/yaws/lib/yaws"
Note the quotes. The quotes seemed to screw up the configure
script, it was looking for a directory with that exact name,
quotes included. I removed the quotes and everything worked.

I have a similar problem under ubuntu 8.04.:

loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... localhost
checking target system type... localhost
checking build system type... localhost
checking for erl... /usr/bin/erl
checking for erlc... /usr/bin/erlc
checking for yaws... /usr/bin/yaws
configure: error: Broken Yaws installation, "/usr/lib/erlang/lib/yaws-1.73" does not exist!

The directory /usr/lib/erlang/lib/yaws-1.73 however exists!
