I have problem when I run sh ./configure --with-agent on SCO OpenServer. The message shown me following

# sh ./configure --with-agent
checking for a BSD-compatible install... config/install-sh -c

Oops!

Your 'rm' program seems unable to run without file operands specified
on the command line, even when the '-f' option is present.  This is contrary
to the behaviour of most rm programs out there, and not conforming with
the upcoming POSIX standard: <http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=542>

Please tell [email protected] about your system, including the value
of your $PATH and any error possibly output before this message.  This
can help us improve future automake versions.

Aborting the configuration process, to ensure you take notice of the issue.

You can download and install GNU coreutils to get an 'rm' implementation
that behaves properly: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/>.

If you want to complete the configuration process using your problematic
'rm' anyway, export the environment variable ACCEPT_INFERIOR_RM_PROGRAM
to "yes", and re-run configure.

configure: error: Your 'rm' program is bad, sorry.

Please to everybody who can help me on this.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,

just try to follow instruction from configure and run it as

ACCEPT_INFERIOR_RM_PROGRAM=yes ./configure --with-agent

Best regards,
Victor

Hello again,

Thank you for your suggestion and the command running as well but I facing another problem following

Configuration will proceed anyway, since you have set the
ACCEPT_INFERIOR_RM_PROGRAM variable to "yes"

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

you need C++ compiler to build NetXMS agent. Try to install one.
