This is a norman behaviour. > >Dear ns-users, > >I have another problem in installation of "tclcl-1.0b4". When I say make >the following error occurs: > >>> test -e libTcl.a && rm -f libTcl.a || true >>> sh: test: argument expected >>> *** Error code 1 (ignored) This error is due to different test implementation on your system than the one on tclcl author's system. This is OK. It just tests whether link libTcl.a exists or not. That link points to libtclcl.a. Since test was invoked inproperly this command set cannot remove it (libTcl.a link) if already exists. This causes the next error, which is normal too. >>> ln -s libtclcl.a libTcl.a >>> ln: libTcl.a: File exists >>> *** Error code 1 ln can't create link libTcl.a since it already exist (from your previous call(s) to make). >>> make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `libtclcl.a' But libtclcl.a was created successfully, and link libTcl.a points to it. I think the authors of tclcl need to clean it a little bit here. > >But "make" then behaves as if nothing wrong has happened. I mean, when I >type one more make after this, it doesn't do anything: > >>> toros:/antep3g/network/tclcl-1.0b4>make >>> toros:/antep3g/network/tclcl-1.0b4> Right. It has nothing to do. All source files were compiled, and libtclcl.a, and libTcl.a exist up to date. > >Shouldn't it write that "make is up to date"? Or should I ignore and go on >with "ns-2.1b1"? It prints "ns is up to date" not "make is up to date". Since libtclcl.a is not executable but a library ( I may be wrong here) make will not print that message. May be it has something to do with targents in make or so. But the one thing is thre is not anything wrong in here. Good luck with ns2.1b1. > >Thank you for your future help.
