<p>Have you tried "make install"? That's a bit more common on these types of things.</p>

Hi guys,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the help thus far on the script file mentioned in the "help<br>
please getting script file to work" thread. I'm going to have to come<br>
back to that. However, I've decided to upgrade my NTP package before<br>
doing more experiments. The one in the Ubuntu repositories is almost 2<br>
years old. I uninstalled NTP and NTPDATE using the Synaptic package<br>
manager in Ubuntu 11.04. I downloaded the latest production NTP package<br>
from <a href="http://ntp.org" target="_blank">ntp.org</a> and extracted it to a folder in my home directory. I<br>
looked at the instructions here:<br>
<br>
file:///home/ron/NTP%204-2-6p5/html/build.html<br>
<br>
and found this paragraph:<br>
<br>
QUOTE ON --><br>
<br>
The first thing to do is uncompress the distribution and extract the<br>
source tree. In the distribution base directory use the ./configure<br>
command to perform an automatic configuration procedure. This command<br>
inspects the hardware and software environment and configures the build<br>
process accordingly. Use the make command to compile and link the<br>
distribution and the install command to install the executables by<br>
default in /usr/local/bin.<br>
<br>
<-- QUOTE OFF<br>
<br>
I issued the ./confgure command, then the make command, and everything<br>
looked fine. Then I issued the install command, and I get this error:<br>
<br>
ron@asus-k52f-1:~/NTP 4-2-6p5$ install<br>
install: missing file operand<br>
Try `install --help' for more information.<br>
<br>
Could someone tell me how to complete the NTP installation? I know that<br>
I need to put the ntp.conf in /etc, but I don't know how to make NTPD<br>
start automatically on boot, unless the install process does this. I<br>
know that, when I installed previously from the package manager, it did<br>
start automatically on boot.<br>
<br>
As always, any help is appreciated.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Ron<br>

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to<br>
call on the phone. I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy<br>
mailing lists and such. I don't always see new messages very quickly.)<br>
