make depend error 127????

Ok, i am new to linux. I am trying to install cyrus imap server.

I did the ./configure just like the doc's said to.

Then i did the make depend. Now, i dont understand anything that it said, but there was an error at the end of the command. This is what it said:



What is error 127 and error 1? Should i go on and do the make all and make install? Thanks for any advice you could give.

-Mr.K

you cannot go on since the dependencies are necessary for the compilation process.

i advise you not to compile from source at all if you are new to linux. you´ll face many other problems soon.
better get the binary RPM from your distributor or the programmer´s homepage.

if you still want to go on:
did ./configure tell you about missing things? since the software tries to use its own program for making dependencies, maybe parts of your c-compiler are missing...
maybe you also need bison, yacc or some other parser. (is "*.y" yacc? i dunno.)

Yea, i think ill just stick with the rpm. But not even that will work. It says it needs libopenssl0. When i try to install the libopenssl rpm, it says "requiers libopenssl0 to install" lol. Anyway, ill figure something out. Thanks!

-Mr.K

a rpm that provides AND requires the same?

maybe libssl0 is different from libssl. another package, thus the "0". try this: rpm --whatprovides libssl.rpm this will tell you which tags are provided if it is also "libssl0" then your package must be corrupt. i cannot think of any other reason why this could be possible.
