[LON-CAPA-admin] Fedora7 install: make build failed

[Stuart Peter Raeburn]

Stefan, 

That error indicates that there is no "all" target in the generated  
Makefile.build file. 

This file is created by:
make Makefile.build pod2html.sh pod2man.sh 

which is included in the shipped Makefile ( /loncom/build/Makefile), and is 
run when you do "make build". 

Some things to check:
1. Within loncom/build, see what output you get from:
perl ./distprobe
2. Check that ../../doc/loncapafiles/loncapafiles.lpml exists
3. Run the command to generate Makefile.build directly.
The actual command which generates the Makefile.build (running within 
loncom/build) is: 

cat ../../doc/loncapafiles/loncapafiles.lpml | perl lpml_parse.pl build 
"development" `perl ./distprobe` ".by ./.." """"  > Makefile.build 

(all on one line). 

4. Confirm that you have free disk space available where you are doing the 
build. 

5. Some expected file sizes (paths relative to loncom/build): 

210937 ../../doc/loncapafiles/loncapafiles.lpml
56922  lpml_parse.pl
39325  Makefile
110451 Makefile.build
