I do not know what you are seeing, but typically the README file will tell you to cd to a given directory and then simply issue the
Code:
make

command. This is because make automatically uses the file named
Code:
Makefile

in the current working directory. This one file issues subsequent make commands to build the product.

For GNU installs there is a
Code:
./configure

step.

Based on that I would guess you are doing something wrong, procedure wise.

Dear jim mcnamara,
Thanks for your reply
For your information, I am still beginner in dealing with Solaris

but i have tried something
when i executed in this way

Code:
# pwd
# /
# /usr/ccs/bin/make -f /eman/zipsrc/unix/Makefile system

it gives me
Code:
'system' is up to date

I think that's right
if it is ok

the next step of installation is
Code:
# /usr/ccs/bin/make -f /eman/zipsrc/unix/Makefile install


and that's give error

Code:
make: fatal error: don't know how to make target 'zip.h'

any help?

Thanks
