Problem with 5beta3 make install

[ChainPuller]

make -f Makefile.dist
./configure
make

everything fine down to here...

But this is what happens when I run make install

make[2]: Leaving directory `/seq/showeq/maps'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/seq/showeq/maps'
Making install in src
make[1]: Entering directory `/seq/showeq/src'

Any ideas.

I'm logged in as root so I have the permissions
Showeq src files are under /seq/showeq

Edit:

Guess I should mention that this is a clean "everything" install of Fedora Core1.

First, I would suggest checking to make sure you have enough disk space on the drive you are building showeq on and installing it to. I suspect that isn't the issue, but it is the first thing I'd check.

Second, the Input/output error make me think something might be wrong with the partition that you compiled showeq in. I would firmly suggest doing an fsck of that disk to check its integrity.

That error could also be the result of bad memory. If the previous two checks didn't find anything I would suggest running a memory test program on your machine. I know the Gentoo LiveCD disk 1 comes with a memory test mode that you can boot into off of the cd.

Other then that, just try rebuilding from scratch.

I hope that helps..

Sorry, should have editted the original.

This was the result of a CVS download. The next morning I grabbed the tarball and everything worked fine. I'm guessing Sourceforges CVS mangled something.

Thanks for the support.

5 beta 3 works fine. Random seg faults but mostly stable. Usually goes for hours.
