Error trying to invoke the make program

Error trying to invoke the make program

[Los, Mark J]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1372 bytes --]

While trying to invoke the 'make' program, I am receiving the following
error message:

 

       cp -p /quantdv/usr/local/emacs/emacs-22.1/lib-src/rcs2log rcs2log

cp: /quantdv/usr/local/emacs/emacs-22.1/lib-src/rcs2log and rcs2log are
identical

*** Error exit code 1

 

Stop.

*** Error exit code 1

 

Stop.

 

I am installing version 22.1.  Can you tell me what I need to do to get
the make program to work?

 

Regards

This has already been discussed in

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.bugs/16314

Eli, I don't see any fix in the repository for that, is it normal?

It is normal considering the fact that I didn't yet install any
changes to fix this. ;-)

Fixed in the release branch now.  The trunk should get an update soon.

The patch is attached below, for the OP to use in order to complete
the build.

Thanks for reporting this.
