Okay I just tried to install it again ..It says errors not warnings they go by
so fast its hard to read them .and it does keep trying several attempts but
fails ...so heres the error ,
compiler error program cc1 got fatal signal 11 ( this stay the same but next
part changes)
Make *** [wharf.0] no target to make ; error 2
this happens after ( make ) ....I dont know what else to do . my brother tried
all he knew
and by the way its now 5:15 am I have been messing with this damn thing since
like midnight ....He finally went to bed and never figured it out either . he's
a few years ahead of me on using Linux so he knows a lot more but he said his
install went fine ...
so who knows ....if anyone has any ideas let me know .... PLEASE
thanks
