       BM> If you don't know the password for mbse and can get to root, then type        BM> sudo passwd mbse. This will allow you to set mbse' password. If it        BM> asks you for it's old password, then use the -d switch and try over.                     I know the password for the "mbse" user; the issue is trying to get the       "make install" going.                     From the "INSTALL.in" file:              cd       tar xfvj /pathtopackage/@PACKAGE@-@VERSION@.tar.bz2       cd @PACKAGE@-@VERSION@       ./configure       make       su       [type rootpassword]       make install       exit       @prefix@/bin/mbtask       ---------------------------------------------              I've done the "./configure" and "make" but it's beyond that's giving me       grief. If I use "su", I become root; the "make install" process then       complains that I'm not the "mbse" user.       --- MultiMail/Win32 v0.49        * Origin: The BABBLE BBS * babblebbs.no-ip.org * Tucson * (1:114/201)    |
