Re: [bug-gsrc] Failure to compile lsh

[Jean Louis]

Hello,

First is require to run:

$ autoconf

And then I have used it like this:

bash-4.3$ ./configure --with-lib-path=/home/data1/protected/gnu/lib 
--prefix=/home/data1/protected/gnu 

And I have this error:

checking for BSD pty names... ls: cannot access /dev/pty*: No such file
or directory
ls: cannot access /dev/pty*: No such file or directory
done
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating src/config.make
config.status: creating src/Makefile

config.status: creating contrib/lsh.spec
config.status: creating contrib/solpkg.sh
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `src/config.h.in'
