Can anyone who has installed units solve this problem? It's compiled, but won't install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
There's certainly masses of stuff in the make file about installation.

Well I've googled, and I've visited the Slackware site (where the packages section is down), and I'm none the wiser. So where do I get a txz package of units?
