Hi Fitri,

You have to edit the Makefile.module and define AOLSERVER.

$ cd /usr/local/src/aolserver40r10/aolserver/include
$ cp Makefile.module Makefile.module.orig
$ vi Makefile.module

AOLSERVER=/usr/local/src/aolserver/40r10

$ cd ../nscache
$ make install

Please let me know if anyone knows a better way to do this.

Any variables that are missing, can be supplied on the command line or in the environment.

That is, the line

export AOLSERVER=/usr/local/aolserver

followed by "make" or "gmake" should work .

Also, if you change around the line in the first post to

AOLSERVER=/usr/local/aolserver make install

I believe it would work as well...

Try locating ./include/Makefile.global and point the AOLSERVER var to the base directory. I would think AOLSERVER=/usr/local/src/aolserver40r10

If it works, please suggest what changes need to be made to the docs to clarify what needs to be done.
