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.

I just did
Code: Select all
# spkg -i /home/tim/linux_software/units-1.88-i486-1rl.txz
and it installed.

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?
