[rt-users] Would appreciate some rt-3-0-6 Installation assistance

[Don Donaldson]

Folks,
         I've gone throught the FAQ, and have been monitoring this list but 
cannot find any answers to my problem.

During the 'make fixdeps' stage of the installation I get the following error:

[root at james rt-3-0-6]# make fixdeps

make: *** [fixdeps] Error 255




This doesn't look normal and I don't know how to fix this.  There are a LOT 
of packages "MISSING' and 'make  fixdeps' crashes as it tries to correct 
this. Can anyone give me a 'nudge' in the right direction?  I'm excited 
about what I've learned about 'rt' from this group and would like to 
participate....

TIA,
