Re: trouble with make install on aix

[Chris Saunders]

Hi Nick,
  Thanks for writing back to me, after seeing a similar problem when 
installing gcc, I found that I'm having some trouble with relative 
pathnames. Anyway when I redo the install using a full path, as in 
/home/ctsa/tmp/binutils-2.15/configure --prefix=... the whole thing goes 
off without a hitch. Same for gcc. I haven't the slightest what's going on 
but everything's working now. -Chris
