RE: Problem with checking in binary files

I did get make to work as a non-superuser and the new rcs images are in
/usr/local/bin. I tried the co and ci of the binary image that I was having
difficulty with and receive the same error message. See below

You can also reach me by phone at 602-381-9478 or I would be happy to call
you if you prefer.

$ cp drrecyc drrecyc.ron
$ co -l drrecyc
RCS/drrecyc,v  -->  drrecyc
revision 1.1 (locked)

$ cp drrecyc.ron drrecyc

It appears your `make' failed because you didn't compile under the
credentials of a non-superuser user.  I suppose you could run someting
like: `su -c make ron'

More information on compiling RCS and problems with conf.h is in the file
INSTALL.RCS which comes with the source distribution.
