Hi,

I got this link and downloaded sudo package to install.
While going thorugh the process I got stuck in between.


As per the above URL, at point no. 3 I got stuck ..


3. Compile the source code and install sudo:

Configure the compilation process for your system:

1. ./configure

Compile the source code:
1. make

And install the compiled code:
1. make install

This install the sudo program into /usr/local/bin, the visudo script (see later) into /usr/local/sbin and the manual page into subdirectories of /usr/local/man.


I have executed ./configure and it basically extraced the files and created config.log

Next step is telling, compile the source code :-
=================================================
1. make

What needs to be done at this point ? What would be the command with righr flag ?

root@snswmspd1: /opt/source/sudo/sudo-1.6.8p12 > make
make: make 1254-025 There must be an existing description file or specify a target.

Here is the list of files under /opt/source/sudo/sudo-1.6.8p12 directory :-

Running
Code: 
./configure
should have created a file called 'Makefile'. Were there any error messages?

You could also just install the rpm, as provided by IBM.

Just be sure to order your /etc/sudoers file as described in the Workaround section of this document to avoid a known race condition in the version in the rpm.
