Install
The Install
script checks for many errors and inconsistencies in
the way its arguments are used. The messages are meant to be
self-explanatory. Here is a list of a few messages where further
information might be useful:
Can not read from TAPE device, tape
Install
was trying to
use. Please check that it is the device you intended; possible causes
of trouble might include leaving off the `/dev/' prefix at the
front of the device name. A typographical error in the device name
might also cause this problem.
If the problem is neither of these, perhaps your tape device can't read
our tape; see section Installing with a remote tape drive, for a discussion of how to use another machine's
tape drive, or contact Cygnus Support.
stdin: not in compressed format
tar
file containing the
Install
script. The second is a compressed tar
file
containing everything else. Without using the non--rewinding device,
there is no way to skip over the first file to begin reading the second.
gcc: cannot exec cpp
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX
accordingly. See section Running the programs.
