Hi,

I'm have: slackware11 (kernel =2.6.19.1), dell latitude d820 core duo, 
sata, 1GB ram, i945gm video, quatech SPP-100 parallel port

Everything works under linux. I am trying to find a dos emulator to run 
my econorom3 software (16bit versions). I came across dosemu, and the 
mfg tech support said someone had previously had success with dosemu.

So I downloaded dosemu 1.3.5 and the dosemu-freedos-1.0.tgz file linked 
on the same page.

I extract dosemu-1.3.5, configure --with-fdtarball=dosemu-1.0.tgz, make, 
then su & make install but I always get this error:

> rm -rf /tmp/dosemu//usr/local/share/dosemu/commands /tmp/dosemu//usr/local/share/dosemu/freedos/dosemu
> rm: cannot remove `/tmp/dosemu//usr/local/share/dosemu/freedos/dosemu': Not a directory
> make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
> make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/dosemu-1.3.5/src'
> make: *** [install] Error 2

I am confounded, I have tried both:

  #make DESTDIR=/tmp/dosemu install   #my normal way (to make a package)

and

  #make install   #my normal way (to make a package)

I have attached all the output from .configure, make & make install (in 
that order) each are separated by a ton of asterisks.

thanks for your time.
