make errors - help

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

When I run make I get the following errors:

mgetty.texi: 319: `.' or `,' must follow cross reference, not ).
and similar messages for the lines 320, 527, 1013, 1024, 1292, 1475, 1829,
1834 and 2669. Next I get

make[1]: [mgetty.info] Error 2 (ignored)
stdin: 305: `.' or `,' must follow cross reference, not ).
and similar errors for the lines 306, 513, 999, 1010, 1278, 1461, 1815,
1820, 2655. Next I get

/usr/bin/texi2dvi: tex: command not found
                            tex exited with bad status, quitting.
make[1]: [mgetty.dvi] Error 1 (ignored)
make[1]: dvips: Command not found
make[1]: [mgetty.ps] Error 127 (ignored)

I have no earthly idea what is wrong here and would appreciate help.

P.S. I am running Redhat Linux 6.0 and got mgetty 1.1.20

I want to be able to dial into my server with a terminal app and get a login
prompt (I don't care for fax or voice capabilities). Reading through the
HOWTOs and FAQs lead me to believe that mgetty is what I need.
