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) :

This compilation itself looks good.

I can run the gambit intepreter just fine:

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

*** EOF again to exit

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).
