I am having trouble installing curl on FreeBSD with Apache/1.3.12
OpenSSL/0.9.5a (Unix).

This is what I did :

- downloaded curl-7.6.1.tar.gz
- uploaded it to my server by ftp in binary mode.
- put it in /usr/local/temp
- logged in via telnet
- changed dir to /usr/local/temp
- ran tar xzvf curl-7.6.1.tar.gz
- changed dir to /usr/local/temp/curl-7.6.1
- ran ./configure
- ran make

Up to this point everthing seemed ok

- changed dir to /usr/local/temp/curl-7.6.1/src
- ran make install

Then it all went wrong. I got this :

a-i-s% cd src
a-i-s% make install
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin
 /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c curl
/usr/local/bin/curl
libtool: install: warning: `../lib/libcurl.la' has not been installed in
`/usr/local/lib'
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/curl /usr/local/bin/curl
install: /usr/local/bin/curl: Permission denied
*** Error code 71

Stop in /usr/home/sinclair/usr/local/temp/curl-7.6.1/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/sinclair/usr/local/temp/curl-7.6.1/src.
a-i-s% .

I tried running make install from all directories but always got errors.

Could you please advise what I should do now.

BTW I saved the install output, so can email it if necessary.

One last point. I subscribed to the mailing list but my request was sent for
approval. Not sure how long that will take so please repond directly to me
by email s I need to sort this out asap.

Just a little footnote - the install instructions could be just a little
clearer for non gurus like myself. I can follow manuals very well, but the
instructions are very sparse so I'm totally lost now.

Thanks in advance.
