My directory name is gnats-4.0
I have run the following commands successfully....
1) ./configure
2) make
3) make install
4) I go into gnats directory. There is a file named "mkdb"
In this directory I run "mkdb default"......... I encounter the
following
mkdb: No proper entry for default in /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases
grep: /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases: Is a directory
grep: /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases: Is a directory
It appears that you've installed GNATS under /usr/local. The odd thing
in your case is that /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases is a directory,
instead of a file.
If you install GNATS under /usr/local, the GNATS binaries expect to find
the file /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases which contains a list of database
entries. At a minimum, this file should contain a single entry for the
'default' database which is mandatory.
I'm not sure why you have a directory named /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases.
Perhaps this is something from a previous install of GNATS?
In any case, if you wish to have your GNATS server installed under /usr/local,
you'll need to move the /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases directory aside,
and replace it with a file, containing something like:
default:Bug database:/usr/local/com/gnatsdb.
Alternatively, you can use the '--with-gnats-dblist-file' configure option to
specify a different location for your databases file.
