failure of linking

[hiten pandya <hp...@lycos.co.uk>]

hi all,
i tried to install apache CVS version.. again... but 
because of my scre**d luck...
when i run make....
i am getting an error saying:
ln: libapr.la: Operation not Supported..

i know its got nothing to do with the make file.. but why 
does ln reject it... i tried linking it manually as well... 
both.. the so.. and the la version.. but still the same 
error... only it replaces libapr.la with libapr.so if u do 
shared configuration.

i would very much appreciate some help,
thanks,



regards,
hiten pandya

"ln" is for hard and soft links (symbolic links) on the filesystem,
you may be confusing it with "ld" which is for linking libraries and
executables from object code.

- check permissions in the directory you specified in ./configure --prefix=
- run "make clean"
- rerun "./buildconf" after you do a cvs update
