I'm trying to get on the track of updating Gambit with mercurial. Unfortunately I can't get it to work.
My guess is that you did a manual "hg pull" and/or "hg update" *before* doing a "make update". That's a no-no. You should only use the "hg" commands if you know what you are doing, otherwise use "make update". That's the price to pay for automating a complex bootstrap process. If you are stuck, get the latest release of Gambit, untar, "make", "make bootstrap", and finally "make update". If that doesn't work then there's a bug... please report it.
Yep, I did a manual "hg update", but only because the instructions on the page I mentioned are broken. Here's the steps it outlines:
wget http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/download/gambit/v4.0/source/gambc-v4_0_0... tar zxf gambc-v4_0_0.tgz mv gambc-v4_0_0 gambit cd gambit ./configure make bootstrap hg pull make update
Which OS are you using? I noticed that the uid on the files in the tarball is 501, and on my system root is 500. This causes me a few errors (and more if I'm not paying attention).
chmod -R root:root .
As long as I take care of that, then make update make make install does it for me. Is that the proper sequence? Joel -- Joel J.
