BJ> Short answer: Yes...

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

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

No, I never did run "make install" more than once. I'll let it
run a few times if need be..

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

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

Yes I did, and I left the paths as is..

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

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

I ran it a few different ways I'm not sure now. I believe I ran
./configure and "make build" as my default user and "make
install"
as root to be sure it could create any needed directories. Next try
I'll use the bbs group/user.

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

I did now.. ;) In the 00-readme Wes makes mention of Bison/Yacc.
I may have to install that on Mandrake from the CD. That may
very well solve my problem. Thanks.. :)
