Re: [gftp] compile failed

Your emails inspired me to plot on.

I had not su'd to root, which may have been a problem.  After doing so, however, I received the same errors with
# ./configure make
(Note: this specific command is from the gftp installation instructions)

In both cases (su and not su), it appeared as though make had failed.  This time, I chose to plug my nose and dive in with
# make install

and it appears to work, installing to /usr/bin (although I did repeat the ./configure --prefix=/usr, as suggested, just to be sure that the paths were preserved). 

gftp is now running and working on a transfer.  It's a large transfer, and I have yet to see if it's successful, but it has moved beyond the crashing point that I was experiencing with version 2.0.18. 

Cross fingers.

I'll let you know if it's successful. 

Thanks for your suggestions and comments!

Indeed.

I've just tried ./configure
make
make install (after su'ing to root) and it compiled and installed like a dream.

I don't have a linux/unix machine in front of me, but I don't think you're 
supposed to type "./configure make", rather you should just type something 
like "make" or "make install" without the configure in front of it.  BTW you 
may want to re-run ./configure --prefix=/usr because the second time you ran 
configure it may have overwrote the settings from the first time...

After receiving various segmentation fault errors & crashes with gftp 
2.0.18, I decided to upgrade to 2.0.19.  Unfortunately, I am stuck at 
configure and could use some help.  I am running a CentOS, Gnome v. 
2.16.0.  Here is what I've done so far:
Uninstalled gftp using "sudo rpm -e gftp" & downloaded gftp-2.0.19.tar.gz 
from <http://gftp.seul.org/>

Changed Install location to /usr/bin, using:
    
./configure --prefix=/usr
      
which seemed to work.  A long list of "checking for...yes/no" ensued

Next:
./configure make

output:
