<p>Make sure that directory where you you have installed the
GNU tools is one of the first entries in the shell search <tt
class="ENVAR">PATH</tt> environment variable. For example, if
you have installed the utilities in the (default) directory
<tt class="FILENAME">/usr/local/bin</tt>, this should be one
of the first entries in the <tt class="ENVAR">PATH</tt>. For
example:</p>
<div class="INFORMALEXAMPLE">
<a name="AEN437"></a>
<pre class="SCREEN">
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin
</pre>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<p>If you are compiling the distribution on a Solaris system
you will need to use the utilities in the <tt class=
"FILENAME">/usr/ccs/bin</tt> directory. This directory must
be in the <tt class="ENVAR">PATH</tt> <i class=
"EMPHASIS">after</i> the directory where the GNU utilities
have been installed. For example:</p>
<div class="INFORMALEXAMPLE">
<a name="AEN443"></a>
<pre class="SCREEN">
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
</pre>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<p>Check to see that the GNU <b class="APPLICATION">make</b>
utility and not the default OS <b class=
"APPLICATION">make</b> is being used by default. Use <tt
class="COMMAND">make -v</tt> to determine what version you
are using:</p>
<div class="INFORMALEXAMPLE">
<a name="AEN449"></a>
<p class="LITERALLAYOUT"><tt class="PROMPT">h4: {1} %</tt>
<tt class="USERINPUT"><b>make -v</b></tt><br>
