Hi!
I’m trying to install dri2proto on the platform SUSE-LINUX-i686.After running ./configure, i get nothing to be done for “all” as i typed make. I don’t know what to do next?? Please help!
What does the readme say to do? Different apps may have different installation instruction. They should always be in the readme file included in the gzip file.
While gogalthorp’s answer is true for all Linuxes and we will help you as we can, we here are using and trying to help on the openSUSE platform. What do you mean with SUSE-LINUX-i686? When you mean with that SLES or SLED, your support is at NOVELL FORUMS.
Usually, the next logical step after make would be make install. But there should be a README or INSTALL file that explains it.
i said SUSE-LINUX-i686 meaning that my linux is 64bits, and the app is 32 bits. I think that is the problem! I have tried to use linux32 ./configure, which print out like this

I don’t know how to deal with like this?
Thank you!
yes! there is a INSTALL file in the dir. I think i may can not understand them completely. That’s a big problem! Sigh!

Don’t “su” to do the configure. Use your normal user. About the linux32, I
don’t know. Try without.

I notice that the lines above show a Make file being created. Look and see if the file starts with a capital M.
Note this is odd but perhaps the programmer did this for some reason??? Or maybe it is just the report that is odd.
Remember Linux is case sensitive.
like i showed above, the results of sudo linux32 ./confiure is
checking build system type… i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type… i686-pc-linux-gnu
although i think that my sys is x86_64.
When i run ./configure ,got

./configure: line 1513: config.log: Permission denied
I run sudo ./configure,got

what to do?

There you go it is right there Make not the usual make.
type Make

You are telling it to use 32 bit. It is doing what you told it to do.

Delete the sources, reinstall the sources them from tgz, and now run
without sudo or su. Only use su/sudo for the install phase.

Da sorry was late and I was tired.
What I want to say is
cat Make
not
type Make
my old mind went back to DOS commands 
To see what is in the Make file

why is everything owned by root??
it should not be!
you should unpack the tar ball as a regular user and into some spot in
your home directory…
and run configure and make install as yourself, and THEN become root
(with su) to run install…
however, i see Make up there and have to assume the package was built by
some microsoftie–so, since s/he didn’t know how to do make, i’d assume
the whole thing is wrong for my system and not install it…what is the
name and a URL for the source pack?
delete the unpacked contents, and begin again, by unpacking as yourself,
a normal user…

almost correct. you run “./configure” and “make” as yourself, then “make
install” as root – if you want to install to a system location.

correct…only need root to install if you want the application easily
available to all users…
