Hi Howard, On my 10.2.8 Mac, make is in /usr/bin. Here's what I get when I type "ls -l /usr/bin/*make" at a Terminal prompt: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 234621 Jul 14 2002 /usr/bin/automake* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 119636 Oct 9 10:44 /usr/bin/bsdmake* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 152220 Oct 9 10:44 /usr/bin/gnumake* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7 Feb 25 11:08 /usr/bin/make@ -> gnumake If you type that command, you should get essentially the same thing (different dates perhaps). If so, then it simply means that the directory /usr/bin isn't on your execution path, and therefore 'make' is not found when you type it at the Terminal prompt. To correct that, you can either type the full path (/usr/bin/make) or put /usr/bin on your execution path by typing "set path = (/usr/bin $path)". You can put the latter in your ~/.tschrc file so that it happens automatically at startup. If your 'ls' command output isn't similar to the above, then something is wrong with your dev tools installation. If so, I can compile a version of MinRMS for you. Let me know.

Hi:

I'm trying to get MinRMS. I downloaded your source code but apparently my Mac with OS 10.2.8 does not have the 'make' program (I've got Developer Tools as well). My Unix-knowledgeable friend here confirmed this; he was unable to figure out how to compile MinRMS on my machine. As well, the computer support people here have been useless. Is there any way to obtain an executable version of MinRMS under X11 on Mac?
