Hi,
(Kindly Cc me, I am not subscribed)
Process followed:
$ make configure
$ ./configure --prefix=/scratch/kap4lin/usr
$ make all
$ make install
The make install step is giving the following error:
make -C templates DESTDIR='' install
make[1]: Entering directory `/scratch/kap4lin/softwares/git-1.6.6.1/templates'
install -d -m 755 '/scratch/kap4lin/usr/share/git-core/templates'
(cd blt && gtar cf - .) | \
(cd '/scratch/kap4lin/usr/share/git-core/templates' && umask
022 && gtar xof -)
gtar: This does not look like a tar archive
gtar: Skipping to next header
gtar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/scratch/kap4lin/softwares/git-1.6.6.1/templates'
make: *** [install] Error 2
Any help?

Perhaps "unset CDPATH".
Also look for "export CDPATH" in your .bash_profile and remove it (and
either remove CDPATH=... from your .bashrc or make it conditional only to
interactive sessions). Setting CDPATH for non-interactive sessions does
not make any sense and asking for troubles.

BTW, will "cd ./blt &>/dev/null" also help and prevent this problem from
happening ever again?

Except that (1) it would be ">/dev/null", and (2) why contaminate Makefile
command lines with such unreadability to work around stupid misdesign of
CDPATH?
I _could_ live with something like this that won't affect the main part of
the Makefile, though.
Makefile | 4 ++++
1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index af08c8f..20b0b34 100644

# The default target of this Makefile is...

# Define SHELL_PATH to a POSIX shell if your /bin/sh is broken.

Thanks. This solved the issue. I'll make a note of this in future.
