There is a button named "search". If you press it you will find this answered many times. Along with the once a week "I don't understand the word, search, what does search mean? How do I fix this problem also?" posts.

I will help you with part of it (I really shouldn't, as you should have learned this in 2nd grade):

I can not help you solve this problem because you certainly DID NOT try.

Just FYI, (every search that was done concerning this error brought up ALOT of responses, but no answers)..

So.. to answer..

If you get the *** [no backup] Error 1, when doing a make -f Makefile.dist,

Check to make sure you have the right libraries installed, and all the requirements. could be as simple as going to ftp.gnu.org and downloading the latest version of libtool.

I do all my updates by src, I dont play with RPM's a whole lot.

I had that problem once. just made sure I had the requirements, turned out I didnt have a good version of libtoolize, so.. just got the latest libtool from ftp.gnu.org, downloaded, compliled and installed it..

then went into my showeq,, did make -f Makefile.dist and it worked.
