[Oorexx-devel] Building ooRexx on Linux (ubuntu)

[Mike C. <MF...@uk...>]

Hi -- I've just started using ubuntu (running on VMWare Server) and of
course the first thing I need is ooRexx.   I'm stuck, however, during the
installation process, as the Release Notes are a bit terse.

I have successfully downloaded and untarred the source files, run 
'configure' and then 'make', apparently without problems (but lots of 
warnings from GCC).  The rexxlib (etc.) seem to have .la extensions 
rather than .so, but I assume this is normal.

But now I'm at 'it can then be installed'.    I tried "install" but this 
complains about a missing option, and I also tried "make install" but that
gave many error messages.

Any Linux guru have a suggestion as to what I should try next?

Thanks -- Mike
