This is my compilation step:
This compile is for Solaris 10.
I used a prefix within myhome dir for configure instead of the default which is /usr/local(to avoid the sudo part)

$ ./configure --prefix=/export/home/myhome/gambit CC="gcc -Dctid_t=id_t -Dzoneid_t=id_t" --enable-single-host --enable-gcc-opts
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
The make install fails with the error message below(last few lines) :

---------------------------------<cut here>-----------------------------------------------

  ../install-sh -c -m 644 $file $t_libdir/$file; \
done; \
for file in libgambc.a; do \
  ../install-sh -c -m 644 $file $t_libdir/$file; \
done; \
if test "$t_libdir" != "$i_libdir"; then \
  r_libdir=`../relpath "$t_libdir" "$i_libdir" no`; \

    (cd $i_libdir && ln -s $r_libdir$file $file); \
  done; \
fi

The following command caused the error:

  target=`echo install-recursive | sed 's/-recursive//'`; \
  echo making $target in $subdir; \
  (cd $subdir && make $target) || exit 1; \
done

This compilation itself looks good.

I can run the gambit intepreter just fine:

/export/home/myhome/gamb/gamb/gsc/gsc
Gambit v4.5.3

Its only the 'make install' part which fails

Might be a silly question, but did you do a "sudo make install"?

Also, you might want to post the full command line you typed to the mailing list (including the "configure" command).

Cheers,
