The problem was that the message in "make install" complaining about dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz was not visible because the screen dafaults to 25 lines and it had rolled off. Then I missunderstood that everything was ok! thanks, the explanation was very helpfull. Ah!!! I just noticed another error, there are several lines: /bin/bash: line 7: bdftopcf: command not found and it was solved by installing bdftopcf. What *was* wrong is that it was not flagged by "./configure". Would you consider this a bug?
