Hi, I was using moentdb-install.sh to install the May 2009 release with the following command, which ends in an error: ================================ $ monetdb-install.sh --prefix=[pathto]/mdb_may2009 --enable-optimize --enable-xquery --22:11:36-- http://www.ins.cwi.nl/~monet/tars/latest/release/MonetDB.tar.bz2 => `/private/var/tmp/MonetDB-1244491895/MonetDB/ MonetDB.tar.bz2' Resolving www.ins.cwi.nl... 192.16.196.21 Connecting to www.ins.cwi.nl|192.16.196.21|:80... connected.

Please refer to the full log at /private/var/tmp/MonetDB-1244491895/log If you believe this is an error in the script or the software, file a bug and attach the logfile. Terminated ================================ The following code in the 'fetch()' function seems incorrect to me: for c in $LZMA $BZIP2 $GZIP ; do wget --progress=dot:mega -t 5 --passive-ftp $1.${c%:*} -P "$BUILDROOT"/$f > $QUIET ... done [[ ! -f "$BUILDROOT"/$f/$f.tar ]] && \ die "fetching $1 {$LZMA,$BZIP2,$GZIP} failed!" First, in the for-loop, e.g., MonetDB.tar.bz2 is fetched. Then, the code following the for-loop checks if ".../MonetDB.tar" exists, if not, it complains that fetching ".../MonetDB.tar.bz2" has failed, returning the error I got. Kind regards, Jennie
