It sounds like most people have only had problems with CAP once they
got it installed and at least semi-running. I can't get it installed. I get
stuck
when I start running the makefiles. The gen.makes script puts a bunch
of empty "makefile"'s in several directories. There are also "Makefile"'s
in those directories that have the correct (supposedly) stuff in them.
This creates a conflict that shows up immediately. By removing the empty
"makefile"'s I , at least, start running the real Makefiles. But then I
immediately
running into problems with "make libsmade"
This is the error I get when I run "make libsmade":
(after I've removed the offending empty 'makefile')

# make libsmade
(cd lib/cap; make)
cc -O -c abmisc.c
cc: Error: abmisc.c, line 149: In this statement, "cv_patchlevel" is not a
memb.
        v->cv_patchlevel, v->cv_rmonth, v->cv_ryear, v->cv_type);
--------^
*** Exit 1
Stop.
*** Exit 1
Stop.
#

Before this I did the following:
1) Retrieve distribution file cap60.pl100.tar and all patches thru 198
2) Apply patches thru 198 using the 'patch' utility.
3) run Configure
4) run gen.makes
5) remove all makefiles (with lower case 'm') from directories (these are
empty
and inserted by gen.makes
6) make includes (runs fine)
7) make libsmade (get error notated above)


Any help would be appreciated.
