subject: Getting Max/UNIX

AI> Hello All,

 AI>      I downloaded the max sources from sourceforge a couple days
 AI> ago to have a look at it. "Make Install" ended right after silt
 AI> compiled max.ctl for some reason so I didn't get any bin/max
 AI> but I least I got bin/squish so I have been trying that out.

 AI>      Is it possible to build max for linux at this time?

Short answer: Yes...

Did you get both .tar.gz files and unpack them in the proper order and location?

Have you run "make install" at least a second time?  I've found
that sometimes a second, or third, round is needed to get all the pieces. 
Don't ask me why....  It only bites on the first install.

I assume you ran the configure script followed by a "make build".
 You could also now try the sequence "make clean", "make
build" and then "make install".

Did you install max in the default location (/var/max)?

Are you running the makes from the same account that you plan to run max on?

Does the account have complete control to create /var/max and everything
under that tree?

Have you read the 00-readme, HACKING and other documentation that came with
the distribution?

Good luck.

Take care.....
