I don't have an /opt/csw/gnu     What package does that come from?


I have /home/ellson/bin at the beginning of my PATH, and it already
contains make->/opt/csw/bin/gmake.    Doesn't fix it.


Adding:
    export MAKE=/opt/csw/bin/make
seems to help.


Didn't someone write a:  "Recursive makes considered harmful" ?
